Beginning with the 2026–2027 academic year, new student admissions to SDSU Georgia programs will be discontinued, as the project transitions into a new phase. However, SDSU Georgia is planning to admit a new cohort of students in the 2027–2028 academic year. 

Tbilisi State University accepts students to its English-language Computer Science and Electrical and Electronics Engineering programs, that are already ABET accredited. Tbilisi State University will continue its Georgian-language programs in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering as well. Additionally, TSU will accept students on its English-language Chemistry program. TSU has already established the Georgia Chapter of the largest professional society in Chemistry – American Chemical Society, through this program.

Ilia State University accepts new students in the following English-language programs: Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering(ABET Accredited), and Electronics Engineering.

Georgian Technical University admits students to its Georgian-language Civil Engineering program, Electrical Engineering program, English-language Computer Science program, and Georgian and English-language Biomedical Engineering program which are also on ABET track.

SDSU will stay in Georgia until all enrolled students graduate from the program. SDSU is committed to ensuring all eligible students finish their studies and earn their dual degree.

All students admitted to SDSU’s American degree programs in Georgia will graduate with both an American degree from San Diego State University and a Georgian degree from their designated partner university (Tbilisi State University, Ilia State University, or Georgian Technical University).

The curricula and courses offered at SDSU Georgia are the same as those offered at the SDSU home campus, and the language of instruction is English. The courses are administered by students’ respective departments and taught either by SDSU professors online or Georgian partner university faculty trained at SDSU.

SDSU Georgia students are provided with the opportunity to study at the SDSU home campus through either a one-semester exchange or a transfer option, beginning in their junior year. Students who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply for the exchange program:
– Completion of the first academic year
– A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5

In addition to the exchange opportunity, students may also apply for a transfer to SDSU Main Campus, which allows them to complete the remainder of their degree program in San Diego.

Students are advised to consult the SDSU Georgia administration regarding the costs associated with the Exchange Program. As program-related expenses are subject to annual adjustments, the exact cost structure may vary from year to year.

Yes. SDSU Georgia recognises the significance of active student engagement and extracurricular involvement in fostering a well-rounded educational experience. Students are encouraged to participate in and register for student life activities aligned with their interests. Furthermore, they are provided the opportunity to establish new student clubs, contingent upon submission of an application and subsequent approval by the Office of Student Services.

The senior design capstone project provides engineering students with an opportunity to engage in aspects of the discipline that extend beyond the traditional curriculum, thereby preparing them for future careers in industry, government, or academia. In particular, the capstone emphasises the practice of design and the application of theoretical knowledge to complex, real-world problems. Upon completion of the course sequence, students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in executing substantial team-based projects within their respective fields. They also develop the ability to effectively communicate technical concepts in both oral and written forms and to respond appropriately to ethical challenges commonly encountered in professional engineering practice. Within SDSU Georgia, an industry-sponsored capstone model has been introduced, enabling students to collaborate directly with business partners and address authentic engineering problems derived from industry needs.

All SDSU Georgia students can continue their graduate studies at SDSU’s main campus in California or any other university worldwide. Some scholarships are available for SDSU Georgia students to pursue their graduate studies at the SDSU main campus in California.
