Mission  
School mission: California University of Pennsylvania, founded in 1852, is devoted to building character and careers, broadly defined. Character-building focuses on three core values (integrity, civility, and responsibility) and four rights and responsibilities (safety, respect, fairness, and excellence). Career-building includes life-wide (multiple life roles) and life-long (legacy) aspects. California University has three main goals: student achievement and success, institutional excellence, and community service. These ends are achieved through high quality faculty, students, programs, and facilities, and these means are funded through an energetic program of resource acquisition and stewardship. We aspire to be recognized as the best comprehensive public university in America.
