CAMPUS SUMMARY
San Francisco State University, one of the nation's great urban universities, is known for its innovation in teaching, its continually evolving curriculum and its commitment to putting students first. Ever since it was established in 1899 as a teacher-training school, San Francisco State has been known for its commitment to excellent teaching. Students enjoy close contact with senior professors and other instructors right from the freshman year. One of San Francisco State's most valuable resources is the city itself -- a cosmopolitan center of business, technology, and culture. At SFSU, students apply their talents and classroom learning to real-world challenges. They gain hands-on experience while earning credit through more than 100 community-focused centers and institutes. As a laboratory for meaningful work-study, cultural exploration, and personal growth, San Francisco and the greater Bay Area help make SF State an ideal place to live and to learn.
