Why Work at USD
Welcome to the University of San Diego.
Employment at USD is more than a job, and in some ways more than a career. Our diverse educational community is dedicated to developing the whole person: intellectually, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
USD isn’t the largest university, but our ideas -- and our ideals -- are big. We are a faith-based institution with a mission to roll up our sleeves and put our values in action. Our students, faculty and staff are engaged in our community and throughout the world in academic and service missions that reflect those values, rooted in the social teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
The University of San Diego is a vibrant place with many opportunities for personal and professional growth, including:
- Competitive salary and attractive benefits packages to include (but not limited to), medical, dental, vision, 12% of your annual salary retirement contribution given to you by the University, and a tuition remission program, so that you and your dependents may be able to have one degree's tuition paid for.
- Computer training and professional development classes.
- On-site fitness center, free to employees.
- On-site preschool for the children of employees, students and alumni.
- Opportunities to participate in a wide range of recreation programs and campus events.
- Work/Life Balance Programs.
USD was recognized as a Medallion Winner for the 2008 San Diego Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM), Workplace Excellence Awards. Nominated by our own employees, we were excited to receive this prestigious award. USD was also recognized in 2008 and 2009 in multiple categories for best practices and policies, as one of the Great Colleges to Work For by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
