Innovative. Interdisciplinary. Diverse.
We are one of top public research universities in the nation. Research at SDSU engages our students in education and provides discoveries, interventions and solutions that better the world. Our researchers are educators, scholars, humanitarians, scientists, engineers, health providers, creatives and students.
Tackling COVID-19
Our researchers are rising to the occasion during the global pandemic. In roughly 40 projects, researchers are analyzing how COVID-19 operates, how the pandemic affects our mental health and how communities are coping in the midst of crisis. Scholars are developing best practices for testing, contact tracing, health care and more, and working diligently to bring many of these solutions to people here in San Diego and across the globe.
