SFSU is a public, urban, multipurpose university that offers professional and liberal arts undergraduate and graduate education. It is one of twenty-three institutions in the California State University (CSU) system whose primary responsibility is superior teaching. While San Francisco State University’s 7,000 full and part-time students are primarily from Northern California and the Bay Area, the university has an increasing national and international constituency. The student body’s strength lies in its exceptionally diverse character with over 68% of undergraduates representing different ethnic and minority groups, and with an average undergraduate age of 24 years. Balancing and serving the student body is an exceptional faculty who come to SFSU from the world’s best institutions. The university faculty is widely respected for outstanding and exciting teaching as well as “cutting-edge scholarship”.

The university’s compact main campus with its well-tended grounds is located on the city of San Francisco’s southern edge. Most classroom, lab, studio, administrative and dorm buildings, and the Library, are within a five minute walk of the striking - and very busy - Cesar Chavez Student Center located at the center of the campus. The entire complex houses most programs offered by the university’s eight colleges, including 116 bachelor’s and 95 master’s degree programs. Several off-campus centers range from the scenic Romberg Tiburon Center in Marin County, where marine research and several satellite art programs are located, to the Sierra Nevada Field Campus. The SFSU College of Extended Learning offers extension programs to the community in the Downtown Center (in the heart of San Francisco) and in the Oakland Multimedia Center across the Bay. Most facilities are easily accessible by public transportation. For further information about other academic programs, consult the university website at http://www.sfsu.edu/
