About SDSU Georgia

San Diego State University Georgia offers students an exciting educational opportunity to receive a U.S. degree while studying in Tbilisi, Georgia. Students are able to earn a professionally accredited, internationally recognized U.S. bachelor’s degree in the heart of the Caucasus. 

The SDSU Georgia project was initiated by the Georgian Government and implemented through the Millennium Challenge Account – Georgia, with funding from the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation. The project was intended to tackle the critical shortage of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professionals in the country and to provide an American university education that would improve human capital in the Georgian labor force. 

SDSU, along with three top Georgian universities – Tbilisi State University (TSU), Ilia State University (ISU), and Georgian Technical University (GTU) – offers courses leading to internationally accredited STEM bachelor’s degrees. Programs offered by the university support the development of engineering and science fields, as well as Georgia’s human capital capacity for economic growth.

These American-style programs include a well-rounded liberal arts education and feature: Western Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation and ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accreditation. SDSU Georgia graduates will leave with a broad base of knowledge and the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in a STEM career locally, regionally, or internationally.

Members of the SDSU Georgia community form a unique and special cohort of individuals who are also exposed to the same academic benefits available to their peers at SDSU’s main campus in California, including state-of-the-art technology and laboratories. The San Diego State Aztecs alumni family includes over 500,000 national and international leaders.
