California State University, Fullerton College Portrait

Learning is preeminent at California State University, Fullerton. We aspire to combine the best qualities of teaching and research universities where actively engaged students, faculty, and staff work in close collaboration to expand knowledge. We are a comprehensive, regional university with a global outlook, located in Orange County, a technologically rich and culturally vibrant area of metropolitan Los Angeles. Our expertise and diversity serve as a distinctive resource and catalyst for partnerships with public and private organizations. We strive to be a center of activity essential to the intellectual, cultural, and economic development of our region.

Our affordable undergraduate and graduate programs provide students the best of current practice, theory, and research and integrate professional studies with preparation in the arts and sciences. Through experiences in and out of the classroom, students develop the habit of intellectual inquiry, prepare for challenging professions, strengthen relationships to their communities and contribute productively to society. The ethnic diversity of our student body is impressive. Cal State Fullerton recently ranked 6th nationally in number of baccalaureate degrees awarded to minority students and 1st in California and 5th nationally in degrees awarded to Hispanics. Currently, the campus has nearly equal proportions of Hispanics (28%), Asians (22%) and Caucasians (32%). In addition to ethnic diversity, the student body is characterized by young, traditional freshmen; a mix of traditional and nontraditional undergraduate transfers; and Masters', teacher credential, and Ed.D. students. Our campus has been the number one destination of California community college transfers for 10 consecutive years. We graduate more transfer students than any other CSU campus.
