Student Stories
"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."- Desiree, Hospitality
"The courses are online, making it easier to schedule hours of studying and watching the lectures, which essentially allowed me to enjoy my winter break but also be responsible. I learned to use my time management and organization skills."Course List
