    Welcome to California State University, Fullerton. The university is here to prepare students to meet the challenges of their future chosen careers. Our undergraduate and postbaccalaureate programs are designed to help students reach their optimum personal and professional development. We are a caring campus that provides an environment whereby our students have opportunities for learning, growth, service to society and involvement in the university community. Through our programs, students will learn to be concerned with the pursuit of excellence and the importance of quality of life issues.

    California State University, Fullerton has awarded more than 176,500 degrees since classes began in 1959, and we have played an integral role in the lives of students, alumni and the community at large. Our university provides the Orange County community, its surrounding regions, the state and the nation with trained professionals in business, computer science, engineering, health, science and teaching, the arts and other service sectors with growing numbers of well-educated personnel. By providing access to professional careers for the broadest cross-section of Americans, including women and members of minority and immigrant groups, our university represents a pathway into the American mainstream for individuals and families who otherwise would not have the opportunity to make this step, thus helping to ensure the stability of our free economy and our democratic government.

     The university tradition extends from our quality academic offerings, our cultural diversity, and our extensive outreach programs to the personal, first-hand interaction with professors whose diversity and backgrounds provide unsurpassed enrichment for a total university education. We support and encourage risk-taking, striving for excellence and the full development of human potential. Our students can participate in or be spectators of intellectual, cultural and athletic programs and events. By the time students graduate, they will have received an excellent education. They will be prepared for continued personal and professional development throughout their lives; they will be ambassadors of goodwill for the university and our surrounding communities will benefit from their contributions to society.

     California State University, Fullerton fosters a stimulating and challenging environment where learning is preeminent. The campus community is dedicated to the development of humane leaders prepared to meet the opportunities and challenges of a changing, diverse world. As you become familiar with and involved in the campus and its activities, you will discover exciting opportunities to grow and contribute. I invite you to participate fully.
