CSU Campus Profiles

The California State University system is made up of 23 university campuses, enrolls over 480,000 students and includes more than 52,000 faculty and staff. It is renowned for the quality of its teaching and for the excellence of its graduates. With over 100,000 graduates each year, the CSU drives California’s economy in information technology, life sciences, agriculture, business, education, international trade, public administration, entertainment and multimedia industries.

Each of the 23 CSU campuses has its own identity, with distinct student populations and programs. Yet all share the same mission: to provide high-quality, affordable higher education to meet the changing workforce needs of the people of California.
