California State University-Long Beach

CSULB is committed to serving the people of California and endeavors to provide academic programs and campus services for both traditional and non-traditional students. The University enrolls students who have graduated in the top third of the State’s high school graduating class, those who have completed a community college program, and adults re-entering education.

CSULB aims, above all, to graduate students with highly valued degrees, and to prepare them for lifelong learning as well as for success in a variety of professional fields. To these ends, the mission of the undergraduate curriculum is grounded in a strong general education program, emphasizing the acquisition of writing, critical thinking, and analytical skills and knowledge of cultural and artistic traditions; the analysis of human behavior and society in the past and present; and scientific modes of inquiry.
