Diversity Statement
San Diego State University Global Campus is dedicated to creating and sustaining a culture of inclusion where all individuals are respected, treated fairly, and provided opportunities to thrive.
Our Commitment to Inclusive, Innovative Education
We deliver innovative educational experiences to a diverse spectrum of learners and realize our goals through a collaborative approach. We celebrate human diversity and actively work to stand against and eliminate racial injustices, providing a safe and inclusive space where students can learn, build collaboration, innovate, and grow.
We embrace a learning culture where differences are valued as strengths, questions are encouraged, knowledge and lived experiences are shared, and perspectives are challenged in order to engage in respectful dialogue and personal growth.
By intentionally recruiting and retaining diverse staff, instructors, and students who are reflective of our ever-evolving global society, we strengthen our community, transform individual lives, and advance our vision of becoming a world leader in innovative education.
Expanding Access & Reducing Barriers
As an extension of San Diego State University, SDSU Global Campus is committed to expanding access to high-quality education through flexible pathways, inclusive learning environments, and comprehensive student support services.
These include:
- Technological support to bridge the digital divide
- DEIA scholarships and other forms of financial assistance
- Personalized advising services
- Accessible course designs
We Embrace Diversity and Lead Change
These resources are designed to reduce systemic barriers and empower students to reach their academic and professional goals. Through these efforts, SDSU Global Campus continues to exceed and build upon the expectations of our students, SDSU, community partners, instructors, and staff—stakeholders who embody a rich array of identities and expressions of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, national origin, levels of ability, age, religion, and political affiliations.
Aligning with the SDSU Strategic Plan
Update Spring 2025: In alignment with the next phase of our campus-wide strategic plan, We Rise We Defy: Transcending Borders, Transforming Lives, the SDSU Global Campus will spend the next several months evaluating progress toward the goals outlined in its 2020 diversity plan. We will also be planning the next iteration of the plan to align with the university’s second phase of the strategic plan, for the 2025–2030 period.

University Commitment to Diversity & Equal Opportunity
At SDSU, our diversity gives us power and benefits every single member of our community. Consistent with California law and federal civil rights laws, SDSU provides equal opportunity for all in education and employment. We encourage all members of our community to purposefully learn from one another through open and respectful dialogue and responsible engagement.
We strongly preserve the right to free expression and encourage difficult conversations that help lead to improved individual and community learning and cohesion.
