Part of a deal announced last month, eligible students in the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) will be granted automatic admission to San Diego State University.
The leaders of the two institutions signed a memorandum of understanding to allow students from San Diego City, Mesa and Miramar colleges who have transferable degrees to receive automatic admittance to SDSU starting in fall 2026.
Students eligible for the transfer are those receiving an associate degree for transfer from an SDCCD campus in a specified field, are California State University eligible and meet some minimum requirements. However, nursing and majors that require an audition such as dance, music and theatre are excluded.
Also, part of the same agreement, SDCCD will develop a “STEM-oriented academic building” at the SDSU Mission Valley Innovation District.
