San Diego State University (SDSU) is a public research university in San Diego, California, United States. Founded in 1897, it is the third-oldest university and southernmost in the 23-member California State University (CSU) system. SDSU is the oldest higher education institution in San Diego; its academic roots were established as a normal school in University Heights, then known as the San Diego Normal School. In the fall of 2024, the university enrolled over 38,000 students.[9]

SDSU comprises eight colleges and offers over 200 degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.[10] It is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). The university is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".[11] It is a federally-designated Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) as well as an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI).

SDSU's athletic teams compete as the San Diego State Aztecs; the Aztecs nickname was chosen by students in 1925.[12] They compete in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I, primarily as a member of the Mountain West Conference (Pac-12 Conference starting in 2026).[13] SDSU currently fields varsity teams across 17 NCAA-sanctioned sports. As of 2021, athletes from the university had won 14 medals at the Olympic Games.
