What is the SDSU
Hybrid University Seminar?

The groundbreaking Hybrid University Seminar is unlike any other first year program SDSU has ever implemented.  It is a dual-part course, in which you will complete part of the course on your own online and the other part in class with an instructor.  Also, the Hybrid University Seminar connects you to your major or helps your choose a major (if you are undeclared) by matching you with professors from your college.

With the combination of audio, video, visuals and reading assignments, you will greatly benefit from experiencing a variety of modes of learning online.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to build a personal relationship with your instructor and your peers during your in-class sessions. 

View an example of the learning module, Getting Organized, which is aimed at helping students identify their goals and their motivations.

The Importance of First Year Programs

Research indicates that freshmen who participate in a first year program create important relationships that help them connect to their campus; thus, they are more likely to return as sophomores and continue on a path toward graduation.
