Centers and Institutes

About Centers and Institutes

Centers and Institutes are interdisciplinary or collaborative units organized around a scholarly, creative, research, education and/or public service activity. They combine the interests and expertise of individuals, departments or administrative units and may draw on expertise of others external to the campus or the Academy. Centers and Institutes provide clear benefits to SFSU and are central to the University's overall mission.
