If you are considering completing your college degree online, you probably value the convenience, flexibility, and freedom of online learning. However, you may also wonder if your online courses will provide you the same quality education that you’d receive from an in-person degree program.
At SDSU Global Campus, our degree programs are almost identical to those delivered on campus at San Diego State University. That means you’re experiencing the same courses, the same instructors, the same services, and the same outcomes as your on-campus classmates.
Our instructional design team works closely with SDSU’s academic departments to ensure all online courses maintain the highest level of academic excellence, integrity, and rigor as their on-campus counterparts. We work closely with our faculty, drawing from their professional experience to produce curriculums designed to match SDSU’s on-campus programs that are continuously updated and career-oriented.
All degree programs and majors at SDSU (in-person and online) are accredited via the WASC Senior College and University Commission, which is the regional accrediting agency that serves public and private higher education institutions throughout California, Hawaii, and the Pacific.
Best of all, upon graduation, you’ll receive the same valuable diploma as any on-campus graduate of San Diego State University.
Experience the Benefits of Online Learning
SDSU Global Campus’ online opportunities allow you to have flexibility and freedom in where and when you take your classes without sacrificing the academic rigor and instructional expertise that will guide you to become successful in your educational and career goals.
Our programs are designed to increase educational opportunities for the students of today and the professionals of tomorrow, making sure you don’t have to put your professional life on hold in order to earn a degree. That way you have the flexibility to attend to life, work, and other obligations, all while accomplishing your academic goals.
It is also important to note that when thinking about a traditional graduate program, you need to consider the cost of room and board, travel, and other expenses that would not come into play if you were to take an online degree completion program. Our online programs allow you the freedom to study not only on your own schedule but at any location you choose. We make it possible for you to earn your degree from SDSU in the comfort of your own home.
Here are some notable instructors and programs that may speak for the merit of SDSU Global Campus’ valuable online quality.
