It is accredited as an integral division of SDSU and operates under the same academic calendar. Established in 1959 by an act of the State legislature, the campus is located in the Imperial Valley on the Mexi-can border in the city of Calexico. Offering the last two years of under-graduate education, graduate programs, and fifth year credential programs for teacher preparation, the campus accepts students who have at least 56 transferable units from community colleges or other accredited institutions. The Imperial Valley Campus offers students the advantages of smaller classes and individual contact with the fac-ulty. The Imperial Valley Campus faculty are multinational in their classroom orientation and background. Interactive television provides students in Calexico the opportunity to participate in various classes broadcast live from the campus in San Diego. The Imperial Valley Campus schedules its classes to meet once a week in three-hour blocks so that students who work full time can earn 9-12 units a semester by attending classes once or twice a week. Occasional classes are also offered on the weekends. The Imperial Valley Campus is located in Imperial County which has a population of approximately 140,000 people. Calexico is 120 miles east of San Diego, 60 miles west of Yuma, Arizona and 120 miles south of Palm Springs. Interstate 8 and State Highways 111 and 86 connect the County to the rest of the country and state. In 2003-2004, we proudly expanded our campus to two sites in order to better serve our students and our community. The Calexico location, six blocks from the Mexican border, provides the opportunity for involvement in a bicultural environment. Just across the border is Mexicali, a city of more than one million people. The Brawley location is 24 miles north of the Calexico site. It is surrounded by rich agricultural fields, the largest industry in the Imperial Valley. The over 900 students at Imperial Valley Campus have the oppor-tunity to be involved in a rich campus life. Student clubs, student government, lectures, art exhibits, quad musical events, library and computer center special programs enhance the students’ education at SDSU – Imperial Valley Campus.

Research Center

California Center for Border and Regional Economic Studies (CCBRES)

The Califor nia Center for Border and Regional Economic Studies (CCBRES) specializes in research on the Imperial Valley and U.S.-Mexican border region. The Center collects and compiles statistics on economic, demographic, social, environmental, and trade indicators on the Imperial County, Mexicali, and binational region and publishes a monthly bulletin of in-house and sponsored analysis of the issues involved in bilateral trade. CCBRES also hosts conferences and work-shops on border issues, ranging from trade and economics to envi-ronmental and educational issues. The Center’s vision is to create a resource for the Imperial Valley, California-Baja California, Mexico bor-der residents, and individuals interested in issues surrounding the U.S. Mexican border.

As related to the economic situation in the Imperial Valley, CCBRES has and is maintaining a current economic profile of the Imperial Valley. The data includes economic indicators such as demo-graphic information, quality of life, environmental, labor and agricul-tural statistics, and macro economic indicators. The Center is providing the community with tools to plan for the future of this bina-tional region.

The Imperial Valley Campus has been designated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as one of eight national centers of excel-lence in the United States.

Facilities

The Calexico campus is located on an eight-acre city block in the heart of Calexico’s civic center along the Mexican border.

Other buildings include classroom buildings, the administration building, faculty offices, a computer lab, a bookstore, and the Student Union.
