Why San Diego State University? Here's Why...
- San Diego State is the only California State University campus designated a "Doctoral University II" institution by the Carnegie Foundation, placing the school among the top 16 percent of colleges and universities in the country.
- Although 32,000 students attend San Diego State, the University's teacher-to-student ratio is among the lowest in the country at any comparably-sized campus. San Diego State places a major emphasis on the student-teacher relationship.
- San Diego State offers 76 fields of study, allowing for a wide range of potential career paths.
- San Diego is considered "America's Finest City" and it features what is considered the best climate in North America with less than 10 inches of rain per year. It features more than 70 miles of beaches and is the seventh largest city in the country.
- The city boasts of the largest concentration of museums west of the Mississippi River.
- San Diego State athletes train, compete and study in facilities that are absolutely among the best in the western United States.
- The new home of the Aztecs is the Aztec Athletics Center. The four-floor structure houses all facets of the athletic department and has locker rooms for each team, a new Hall of Fame, weight room, athletic medicine center and auditorium.
- On the third floor of the Aztec Athletics Center is the academic center. It includes private study rooms, lecture halls, and expansive computer lab.
- The backbone of student services at San Diego State is the Student Athlete Academic Support Services program that assists all student-athletes in their pursuit of academic excellence.
- In the spring of 2001, 148 student-athletes, nearly one-third of SDSU's student-athlete population, achieved a grade-point average in excess of 3.2. That is nearly four times the number of scholar-athletes that were on campus in 1994.
