SDSU World Campus

The College offers a wide variety of lifelong learning classes, seminars, certificate and degree programs, and other learning opportunities for students in every facet of life.

The word catalyst comes to us from the world of chemistry, and still conjures images of a scientist working away in a lab, beakers bubbling away, combining materials in hopes of creating something new. The chemist adds a catalyst to the mix to speed up the process - or change it completely, opening up new possibilities.

The College of Extended Studies is many things to many people - a community, an educational institution, a social hub, a place to network - but above all, the College is a catalyst, the ingredient that’s added to create change in your life.
