| Mission | |
| School mission: | Humboldt State University (HSU) is a comprehensive, residential campus of the California State University (CSU). We welcome students from California and the world to our campus. We offer them access to affordable, high-quality education that is responsive to the needs of a fast-changing world. We serve them by providing a wide array of programs and activities that promote understanding of social, economic and environmental issues. We help individuals prepare to be responsible members of diverse societies. These programs and the experience of a Humboldt State education serve as a catalyst for life-long learning and personal development. We strive to create an inclusive environment of free inquiry in which learning is the highest priority. In this environment, discovery through research, creative endeavors, and experience energize the educational process. Humboldt State University is located 270 miles north of San Francisco in the city of Arcata and is surrounded by miles of beaches, forests and rivers. The campus uses its location in the Redwoods as a natural resources classroom. HSU students have opportunities for hands-on research. Students dig into active fault zones, observe gray whales or mountain lions in their natural habitats, explore the rich biodiversity of old growth redwood forests and steep themselves in marine life aboard the ocean-going research vessel, Coral Sea. Small class sizes and the intimate natural setting foster friendliness and close student/faculty relationships. |
