Thurgood Marshall College
About Us:
Thurgood Marshall College was conceived by faculty and students, and founded in 1970 as Third College. From its inception, Third College enriched the lives of undergraduates with its intellectual and philosophical commitment to the development of both the scholar and citizen.
In July of 1993, the University of California Regents approved the new name of Thurgood Marshall College in honor of the famous attorney and Supreme Court Jurist. Justice Thurgood Marshall was widely known and recognized for his historic contributions to American life, and his dedication to breaking down barriers to education.
TMC is an integral part of the cluster college system on the UCSD Campus which affords students the opportunity and advantages of attending a small liberal arts college within the setting of a renowned research university. Within its short history, UCSD has risen to national prominence. The distinguished faculty and excellent student body have contributed to that success.
