College of Ethnic Studies

The College of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University advances transformative scholarship, community engagement, and social justice through the study of race, culture, and resistance. As the first college of its kind in the nation, it continues to shape educators, organizers, artists, and leaders who challenge inequity and uplift marginalized communities. Our programs center lived experience, cultural knowledge, and community‑rooted research, preparing graduates to create meaningful change across education, public service, and beyond. Giving Day support strengthens this legacy—expanding student opportunities, funding events, and fueling the work that keeps Ethnic Studies a vital force for equity and liberation.
