San Francisco State University | College of Professional & Global Education

Baseball legend Willie Mays had millions of friends, including many at San Francisco State. The beloved “Say Hey Kid” donated to a program for Gator students raised in foster care, and he received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters at 2009 Commencement. Putting on his Giants cap mid-speech, he told the graduates: “You’re going to have to be humble. And you’re going to have to say to yourself, ‘I went through the books. Now, it’s time for me to go through the real world.’”

Not only did SF State earn a 4.5 out of 5 star rating in Money’s latest Best Colleges in America rankings, it also earned spots in three special categories: Best Public Colleges, Best Colleges in the West and Bests Colleges with High Acceptance Rates. Only 50 schools out of the 745 on the Best Colleges in America list earned a higher rating than SF State!

Research shows that a San Francisco State University education is nearly twice as valuable of an investment as attending a private school in California.

Final graduation ceremony of the semester last night! Personally this was my favorite event because we celebrated the first cohort in the Data Science and Machine Learning for Biotechnology Professionals certificate offered in collaboration with Genentech. It was a triumph to see all the hard work of students, faculty, and San Francisco State University | College of Professional & Global Education and Genentech staff pay off. A huge thank you to Genentech for hosting the event. #biotech #machinelearning #classof2024
