About California State University Monterey Bay

In 1994, a group of educators, elected officials, and community leaders established Cal State Monterey Bay in the inspiring coastal landscape of Monterey Bay on the former Fort Ord Army base. We are recognized for innovative programs that prepare our students for success and help power the regional economy. Cal State Monterey Bay is one of the nation's top public schools for making higher education accessible to underserved and low-income students. Our diverse population of about 6,500 students benefits from a strong support system and inclusive community. Seventy-two percent of our students receive financial aid, and 53 percent are among the first of their families to attend college. Small class sizes mean students receive an education guided by mentorship while pursuing degrees in 28 undergraduate and eight graduate majors. As a result, a CSUMB degree provides a lifetime of value for students and their families, and our graduates become compassionate leaders prepared for the future. Learn more at csumb.edu.
