UCSD-SDSU JDP

The UCSD-SDSU Joint Doctoral Program (JDP) is a collaborative academic initiative between the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and San Diego State University (SDSU). This program is designed to offer doctoral students the combined expertise and resources of both institutions, enabling them to pursue interdisciplinary research in fields such as clinical psychology, public health, and education. Students benefit from faculty mentorship at both universities, access to state-of-the-art research facilities, and a diverse academic environment. The JDP emphasizes rigorous coursework, research collaboration, and professional development to prepare graduates for careers in academia, research, and applied settings.
