USD has consistently been named among the most beautiful campuses in the nation by The Princeton Review.

Inspired by the Second Vatican Council, USD strives to foster faith, promote interfaith community and work in solidarity to advance the common good.

CHANGEMAKING
The University of San Diego stands out with its unique approach to social change, rooted in its Catholic, moral and social traditions. It combines rigorous academic requirements with a campus culture that encourages students to use their natural talents to be engaged, compassionate citizens.
USD's dedication to social change has been globally recognized, with the university being among only 42 worldwide to earn the prestigious Ashoka U designation as a Changemaker campus.
The Changemaker Hub incentivizes and channels faculty and student activity in teaching and research through the Changemaker Faculty Fellows, Impact Linda Vista Initiative and the Changemaking Minor. Changemaker Hub provides opportunities for students to develop innovative mindsets and skills to turn concepts into actionable solutions. Through initiatives like the Design Lab, students are encouraged to apply their knowledge in the classroom to implement projects that transform our campus into a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable community.
Many community partners in San Diego collaborate with the Changemaker Hub and its partners on campus, such as the Karen and Tom Mulvaney Center for Community, Awareness, and Social Action, to address critical 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.

SUSTAINABILITY
At the University of San Diego, student-led sustainability initiatives help provide solutions to the environmental challenges that define our times, fueled by nearly 350 courses containing sustainability concepts taught by faculty members who also involve themselves in sustainability initiatives outside the classroom. For example, USD is home to the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative, an organization working throughout the San Diego region to share expertise, leverage resources and advance solutions to facilitate integrated climate change planning.
Since 2010, USD’s Office of Sustainability has led initiatives to reduce the university’s energy consumption by 35%, water consumption by 22%, and greenhouse gas emissions by 17%. Notably, 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.
In 2021, USD further demonstrated its commitment to ensuring a healthy environment for future generations by debuting its Energy Master Plan, designed to provide a roadmap to continue reducing energy use on campus in an effort to achieve USD’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2035. That same year, the university formally amended its investment policy to be more sustainably focused; since 2016, USD has reduced its exposure to fossil fuel investments by approximately 60% and will continue to seek alternatives to eliminate that exposure by 2035.
USD also offers Green Office and Eco-Resident Certification Programs to students and faculty members to help them become more sustainable and, to integrate sustainability into its supply chain, the university created a set of Sustainable Purchasing Guidelines and a Supplier Diversity Initiative.
In recognition of these efforts and more, USD has achieved a Gold rating from the AASHE STARS program and was named one of the top 10 campuses in the country committed to conservation (#9) by The Princeton Review in 2024.

INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE
Inclusive excellence is 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 teaching, research, and programming 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 Program; and facilitating leadership and professional development for students, faculty, administrators and staff.
The CID, inclusive of the Office of the Tribal Liaison and NAGPRA Office, actively partners with the academic divisions and schools; campus departments and student organizations; and local and national partners to transform USD into an institution where everyone thrives irrespective of their differences. We believe that diversity is excellence and we are committed to fostering a campus environment where people from all backgrounds, viewpoints and perspectives can work and collaborate together towards a more just, humane and sustainable world.

Generally, more than 3,000 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.
