Curriculum

Eighth College has a core curriculum named "Critical Community Engagement". CCE consists of 4 courses, one being upper-division.[3] 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 will primarily be housed in the new Theatre District Living & Learning Neighborhood (TDLLN),[4] which is the southernmost residential area on campus, just south of Revelle College.[5] 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.[6][7] The community was set to open by fall 2023, but due to construction delays, only one building was finished in time.[8][9]
