Eighth College is the eighth college at the University of California, San Diego with the theme "Engagement & Community," primarily focusing on structural racism, climate disruption, ecological degradation, globalization of chronic infectious diseases, declining resilience in human settlements and working lands to adapt to shocks, widening economic, health, and well-being disparities.
The Eighth College opened for undergraduate students in the fall of 2023 and will take the first transfer students in the fall of 2025. The Eighth College Logo is purple with an “8” that is stylized to look like an infinity symbol.[1]
Eighth College has a core curriculum named "Critical Community Engagement". CCE consists of 4 courses, one being upper-division.[2] The courses aim to prepare students to engage with the local San Diego community, as well as a broader global community with hands-on learning, involving an interaction-based course.
Eighth College students are primarily housed in the new Theatre District Living & Learning Neighborhood (TDLLN),[3] which is the southernmost residential area on campus, just south of Revelle College.[4] The dormitories at TDLLN are some of the tallest on the West Coast, up to 21 stories tall, providing 2000 beds and a net increase of 300 parking spaces.[5][6] The community was set to open by fall 2023, but due to construction delays, only one building was finished in time.[7][8]
