WELCOME
Set at the edge of an international gateway on one of the nation’s most beautiful campuses, the University of San Diego prepares students for personal and professional growth and success. Our focus on academic excellence — inspired by faith, infused with contemporary Catholic values and nurtured in a warm, community environment — empowers confident original thinkers to make positive contributions throughout the world. With more than 9,000 students from dozens of countries and 50 states, USD is the youngest private institution among U.S. News & World Report’s top 100 universities in the country. Among its many accolades and achievements, the university was the first campus on the West Coast to be designated as a Changemaker campus and is now one of only 52 Changemaker campuses in the world. USD is ranked as one of the best Catholic colleges in America and is consistently among the top five in the nation for study abroad participation. USD has consistently been named among the most beautiful campuses in the nation by The Princeton Review
Governed by an independent Board of Trustees, the university remains dedicated to the values originally articulated by its founders, Mother Rosalie Clifton Hill of the Religious of the Sacred Heart and Bishop Charles Francis Buddy of the Diocese of San Diego.
Our Mission
The University of San Diego is a Roman Catholic institution committed to advancing academic excellence, expanding liberal and professional knowledge, creating a diverse and inclusive community, and preparing leaders dedicated to ethical conduct and compassionate service.
Our Vision
The University of San Diego sets the standard for an engaged, contemporary Catholic university where innovative Changemakers confront humanity’s urgent challenges. sandiego.edu/envisioning-2024
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
A University of San Diego education is founded on an unwavering principle: the pursuit of academic excellence. Admission to USD is highly selective. The university selected its class from more than 14,300 applications and enrolled 1,234 first-year students in Fall 2022. Due to COVID-19 and the impact on students’ ability to take standardized tests, as well as our ongoing commitment to providing greater access and expanding diversity, USD did not consider test scores in its admission process this year, and will continue that practice until at least the 2023 cycle. USD continues to attract and enroll outstanding students, as evidenced by the average grade point average of 4.01.
Students choose from undergraduate and graduate degree programs in academic divisions that include the College of Arts and Sciences, the Knauss School of Business, the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering, the School of Leadership and Education Sciences, the School of Law, the Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science, the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies and Professional and Continuing Education. To learn more, go to sandiego.edu/academics and sandiego.edu/rankings.
CATHOLIC IDENTITY
As a Roman Catholic institution, the University of San Diego offers a values-based, service-oriented, holistic education, helping students develop intellectually, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Grounded in the liberal arts tradition, USD is committed to the compatibility of faith and reason and the pursuit of truth in a community characterized by appreciative inquiry, academic freedom, respect and civility.
Named one of the top 10 Catholic colleges and universities by Niche.com, the university is dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive community comprised of individuals from a multitude of faith traditions.
The university’s Catholic identity is manifest across campus through the presence of a vibrant faith community; a commitment to service; the dedication to advocating on behalf of a more just, humane and sustainable world; and the consideration of questions of vocation, meaning and purpose.
University Ministry offers a variety of liturgies, retreats, immersion programs, faith-sharing groups and sacramental preparation opportunities. The Frances G. Harpst Center for Catholic Thought and Culture articulates the message of the Catholic intellectual tradition through thought-provoking lectures, programs and cultural events.
The Center for Christian Spirituality, founded by the Religious of the Sacred Heart, provides the campus and the greater San Diego community with opportunities for spiritual exploration and enrichment. Through the efforts of the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, the university demonstrates its commitment to addressing issues of peace and justice.
The University of San Diego is home to the Franciscan School of Theology, which offers rigorous master's programs led by worldclass scholars. sandiego.edu/catholic
CHANGEMAKING
The University of San Diego embraces its Catholic, moral and social tradition by aligning rigorous academic requirements with a campus culture that encourages students to use their natural talents to be engaged, compassionate citizens. USD was ranked fourth in the nation for promoting public service by Washington Monthly in 2021.
USD is one of only 42 universities in the world to earn the Ashoka U designation as a Changemaker campus. Through the Changemaker Hub, the university empowers students to develop knowledge and experiences to confront humanity’s most urgent challenges.
Students are encouraged to apply the knowledge they are learning in the classroom to implement projects that transform our campus into a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable community. The Hub provides opportunities for students to develop innovative mindsets and skills to turn concepts into actionable solutions.
Many communities — in San Diego and beyond — collaborate with the Hub and its partners on campus, such as the Karen and Tom Mulvaney Center for Community, Awareness and Social Action, to address important social issues, such as homelessness, food insecurity, and sustainability. In collaboration with community partners, students learn how to distill ideas and conduct research to advance meaningful social change.
The Changemaker Hub also incentivizes and channels faculty and student activity in research and community engagement through the Changemaker Faculty Fellows development program, the Changemaker Challenge, the Design Lab and the Changemaking minor.
Through a values-based education and an ecosystem for innovation and social change, USD students gain practical skills in critical thinking, problem solving, empathy and teamwork. sandiego.edu/changemaker
SUSTAINABILITY
At the University of San Diego, student-led initiatives provide sustainable solutions to the issues that define our times. There are nearly 350 courses containing sustainability concepts taught by faculty members who are also involved in sustainability initiatives outside of the classroom in the community. For example, USD houses the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative, an organization working throughout the San Diego region to share expertise, leverage resources and advance comprehensive solutions to facilitate climate change planning.
Since 2010, USD’s Office of Sustainability has led initiatives to reduce the university’s energy consumption by more than 35%, reduce water consumption by nearly 22%, and lower greenhouse gas emissions by more than 17%. More than 5,000 solar panels generate 7% of the university’s electricity needs, making the system one of the largest on-site solar energy systems at a private college in the U.S. USD debuted its Energy Master Plan in 202021, which provides a roadmap to further reduce the campus’ energy use and achieve the goal of being carbon neutral by 2035.
In 2021, USD further demonstrated its commitment to ensure a healthy environment for future generations by formally amending its investment policy to be more sustainably focused. Since 2016, USD has reduced its exposure to fossil fuel investments by approximately 60%; by 2035, USD will seek alternatives to eliminate its exposure to fossil fuel companies.
USD also offers Green Office and Eco-Resident Certification Programs to students and faculty members to help them become more sustainable. USD’s Sustainable Purchasing Guidelines and Supplier Diversity Initiative continue to integrate sustainability into its supply chain, which strengthens the university's reputation as one of the most sustainable campuses in the nation.
In recognition of these efforts and more, USD has achieved a Gold rating from the AASHE STARS program and has been named one of the top 50 greenest schools by both the Sierra Club and The Princeton Review in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of USD’s mission, vision and values. The message of the Gospels is clear: All people are created by God and deserve to be treated with dignity, empathy, compassion and respect.
We are actively working to ensure that our campus environment is reflective of and represents the beauty and diversity of the human experience. We define diversity broadly to include race, ethnicity, gender, age, ability, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation and military status, along with other aspects of difference. When equality, social justice and solidarity are pursued inside and outside the classroom, we live out our mission.
Through the Center for Inclusion and Diversity (CID), the USD community advances inclusive excellence across the campus through research, programming and teaching as well as by providing leadership for collaboration and campus engagement. Some of the CID’s initiatives include development of the three-part Thriving at USD leadership development workshop series, implementation of the Strategic Plan for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence, oversight of the Horizon Project goals, administration of the USD Diversity and Inclusion Impact Awards, dissemination of learning from the Institutional Effectiveness and Strategic Initiatives grants and facilitating leadership and professional development for students, faculty, administrators and staff.
The CID, inclusive of the Office of the Tribal Liaison, actively partners with the academic divisions and schools; campus departments and student organizations; and partners with local and national partners to transform USD into an institution where everyone thrives despite their differences. We believe that diversity is excellence and we are committed to fostering a campus environment where people from diverse backgrounds, viewpoints and perspectives can work and collaborate together towards a more just, humane and sustainable world.

STUDY ABROAD
The University of San Diego offers undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to study throughout the world. Historically, more than two-thirds of USD’s undergraduate students participate in a wide range of study-abroad programs that vary in duration, location and area of academic study.
The university consistently ranks in the top five nationally for the percentage of undergraduates participating in a study abroad program and, in 2015, earned the prestigious Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization.
Typically, programs in more than 80 cities are offered worldwide. Students have the opportunity to study abroad during fall and spring semesters, January intersession or summer terms. During a semester-long session, students have the option to study around the world, including at the university’s first global location, the USD Madrid Center, where they can reside with local families and participate in the unique Travel Seminar throughout Spain.
Double-degree programs exist in France, Italy, Portugal and Spain to allow undergraduate business students the unique opportunity to earn two degrees in four years by spending between one and two years abroad.
USD faculty-led summer and intersession programs — which are available for undergraduate and graduate students and range from two to four weeks — are another unique opportunity for international exploration. In these affordable programs, students participate in courses and co-curricular experiences specific to the location they visit.
Students who study abroad for a semester must enroll in 1218 units and must have completed a minimum of 45 units prior to departure. Good academic standing is required for participation in all study-abroad programs. sandiego.edu/studyabroad
ATHLETICS
The University of San Diego has a long history of athletic success, including winning 60 conference championships and making it to the NCAA tournament 109 times across its 17 intercollegiate programs. But winning at USD is more than winning on the playing field. It means winning in the classroom with a 91% graduation rate. It also represents winning in the community by contributing thousands of volunteer service hours. A member of NCAA Division I Athletics and the West Coast Conference (WCC) since 1979, the university’s nickname is Toreros, the Spanish word for bullfighters. Team colors are Torero blue, navy blue and white.
Other WCC teams are Brigham Young, Gonzaga, Loyola Marymount, Pacific, Pepperdine, Portland, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco and Santa Clara. Men’s sports are baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, rowing, soccer and tennis. Women’s sports are basketball, cross country, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field and volleyball.
Athletic facilities include the Jenny Craig Pavilion, home of the basketball and volleyball team; Walter J. Zable Field at Torero Stadium, home for football and soccer; the Softball Complex; the Skip and Cindy Hogan Tennis Center; and the Sports Center Pool, home of the swimming and diving teams.
Fowler Park and Cunningham Field, home to Torero baseball, is a state-of-the-art facility. Torero Stadium has previously played host to the College Cup, the Final Four national championship for women’s soccer.
Club sports are an integral component of the student experience. More than 500 students participate each year in events ranging from surf contests to rugby tournaments featuring college teams from across the country.

CAMPUS COMMUNITY
When USD students aren’t studying, they’re meeting friends who share their interests and passions, participating in a sports club or taking a moment to relax and enjoy the view. From outdoor adventures to opportunities for inner exploration, students can find the community that’s right for them.
On-campus housing is available to students all four years and is a requirement of the first- and second-year experiences — unless commuting from home. Upper-division and transfer students can choose from five uniquely styled apartment complexes.
All first-year students participate in Living Learning Communities (LLCs). LLCs bring students with similar interests around changemaking together in the residence hall areas. Firstyear commuter students also participate in an LLC and have intentional programming connected to the Commuter Commons.
Second-year students can participate in the Second-Year Torero Experience Program (STEP), a collaborative effort designed specifically to meet the needs of second-year students, including career development, studying abroad and a focus on community building and wellness.
Generally more than 2,600 first-year, transfer, returning upper-division, law and graduate students enjoy the academic, programming, safety and convenient benefits associated with being members of the campus residential community.
All resident students have immediate access to professional community directors, resident ministers and student resident assistants who are committed to enhancing their academic, social and spiritual growth.
Both the LLCs and Transfer Learning Communities (TLCs) for new transfer students help fulfill a core curriculum course and the first-year integration component necessary for graduation.

The ITS Help Desk offers services and technical support for all USD computing and technology matters. Students have access to several computing labs, and a special media development lab is available for student projects.
COPLEY LIBRARY
Serving the entire USD community, Copley Library is a busy campus hub that provides students with access to a wide variety of information sources. The library is both a knowledge center and a place where students can find comfortable areas for quiet study and active group-study sessions.
A $25 million renovation — completed in Fall 2020 — includes 25 group-study rooms, three library instruction classrooms and exhibit and display spaces to improve the student experience. The library is open 116 hours per week, providing access to collections, computer workstations, study rooms and special services.
Copley Library is a member of the San Diego Circuit Library Consortium, which maintains a database linking libraries in the region.

LIFE IN SAN DIEGO
California’s second-largest city and the United States’ eighthlargest, San Diego has nearly 1.4 million residents. Proximity to the Mexican border gives the city an international perspective that is reflected in the region’s architecture, culture and celebrations. USD’s campus is located 22 miles from that border, which is one of the many reasons that students graduate with a deep understanding of the global landscape and an international perspective.
With an average daytime temperature of 71 degrees and sunshine more than 250 days per year, San Diego is one of the few places in the world where residents can catch a wave in the morning, drive a few hours to ski or play in the snow, then head for the desert in the evening.
Home to a thriving music, theater and arts scene, San Diego also boasts 70 miles of pristine beaches and an array of worldclass family attractions. The renowned San Diego Zoo is just one small part of Balboa Park, an urban expanse that houses the largest concentration of museums on the West Coast, as well as art galleries, beautiful gardens and the Tony Awardwinning Old Globe Theatre. Petco Park is home to the San Diego Padres.
The Mission Bay Aquatic Center is one of the world’s largest recreational waterfront facilities, offering instruction in an array of watersports, including sailing, surfing and kayaking.
The San Diego region is a diverse and innovative community, home to such a plethora of science and technology companies that some refer to it as the Silicon Valley of biotechnology.

FINANCIAL AID
The primary purpose of the financial aid program at the University of San Diego is to provide support to students who otherwise would be unable to attend the university. Financial assistance consists of scholarships, grants, loans and employment.
While need is the primary factor in awarding most financial aid, the University of San Diego recommends that every eligible student apply for financial aid. For university scholarships and grants, consideration is given to the applicant’s academic achievement, character and potential.
Financial aid offers are designed to assist with the financial need of each individual student. Each offer may consist of funding from one or more programs and can vary depending on established need and/or merit.
The university’s Office of Financial Aid is available to assist students with the cost of attending the university. Students who complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the CA Dream Act Application or the USD Dream Act Application by the priority deadline will be considered for all types of financial aid. USD also is a participant in the Veterans Affairs Yellow Ribbon program.
Eighty percent of undergraduate students and 79% of graduate students enrolled in 2021–2022 received some form of financial aid. Undergraduate aid totaled $196.68 million, including more than $25.12 million in Federal PLUS loans. Graduate aid totaled $51.27 million.
