Graduate Admissions

We can help you get where you want to go

When you earn a graduate degree from SDSU, you give yourself a powerful academic credential and a key to professional success – no matter what your field. Our 38 graduate programs span seven academic colleges. We confer M.S., M.A., M.Ed., and Ph.D. degrees, as well as two professional doctorates. 

You should know that research is a core part of SDSU’s land-grant mission, and we are always looking for ways to expand its reach in every program. In fact, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching recently classified SDSU as the state’s only research university with high research activity. And since each of our graduate students works closely with a faculty committee to develop a research program and plan of study in line with his or her needs and interests, you’re sure to get what you need out of your program as efficiently as possible.

So start earning the degree that can make all the difference in your life and career - apply now.
