Michael Scott, the CIA official Dusty Foggo and Bud Black of the San Diego Padres? Apart from being pioneers in their respective fields, they all share another connection.

The San Diego State University has its origins dating back to the end of the 19th century. It was in the year 1897 that San Diego Normal school was founded, the forerunner of this premier educational institute of the world.

The well learned faculty and staff of the SDSU or the San Diego State University have been successful in attracting funds worth over a billion dollars for their research. These figures speak volumes about the kind of education imparted here and the stress laid on the importance of research.
