Student Stories

Diran Deukmajian photo and story"Enrolling in a winter course allowed me to stay on track for my graduation date without overloading myself during my first semester at SDSU. Additionally, I was doing a study abroad program for nine days in January and this Global Campus course allowed me to take the class and participate in study abroad at the same time."
