2023 USD Fact Book

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE A University of San Diego education is founded on an unwavering principle: the pursuit of academic excellence. Admission to USD is highly selective. The university selected its class from more than 14,300 applications and enrolled 1,234 first-year students in Fall 2022. Due to COVID-19 and the impact on students’ ability to take standardized tests, as well as our ongoing commitment to providing greater access and expanding diversity, USD did not consider test scores in its admission process this year, and will continue that practice until at least the 2023 cycle. USD continues to attract and enroll outstanding students, as evidenced by the average grade point average of 4.01. Students choose from undergraduate and graduate degree programs in academic divisions that include the College of Arts and Sciences, the Knauss School of Business, the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering, the School of Leadership and Education Sciences, the School of Law, the Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science, the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies and Professional and Continuing Education.
