Are you a graduating high school student who is coming to SDSU in August 2026?
Our unique Jacks Start Abroad programs are opportunities for Incoming SDSU First Year students to take part in a wonderful academic opportunity. In August 2026, it will be 10 years that SDSU has been taking first-year students abroad. Abroad and then in the EXPL 292 FA 2026 class, JSA students learn skills for college, establish a network of people, engage in leadership opportunities and to begin exploring a specially designed program with relevant academic work focused on student success.
