Mission  
School mission: California State University, Long Beach, a vibrant, comprehensive, urban university with an enrollment of approximately 35,000 students, is one of the largest campuses in the 23-member California State University system. Located in Long Beach, the fifth largest city in California, the 320-acre campus near the ocean offers a beautifully landscaped, garden-like setting, an excellent physical plant, and outstanding instructional facilities enhanced by attractive, aesthetically pleasing architecture and design.

This fall, more than 377 California high school valedictorians and National Merit scholars are studying on campus under the President's Scholars Program. CSULB, a young, proud institution striving to become one of the premier urban universities in the country, is strongly committed to high-quality undergraduate and graduate programs.
