ACTIVELY ACADEMIC Small classes. Enthusiastic professors. Hands-on group projects that make a difference in the real world. These are just a few of the experiences students have at Cal State Monterey Bay. Added value Students also take their learning into the community through our mandatory service learning program that helps students make the connection between work, academics and social justice. Intensive senior theses, called Capstone projects, allow students to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and abilities they’ve acquired at CSUMB.

We’re in one of the world’s best areas for outdoor recreation and just one mile from the shores of Monterey Bay, the largest marine sanctuary on the West Coast. This means lots of opportunities for environmental study, not to mention surfing, hiking, kayaking, sailing, biking, hanging out at the beach and more. Incredible Learning Environment Monterey Bay isn’t just for scientists and surfers (though we have our share). The communities that surround our campus offer a wide range of cultural activities, while maintaining a friendly, small-town feel. Plus, all the major metropolitan attractions of the San Francisco Bay Area are just a two-hour drive away. In short, Cal State Monterey Bay offers an incredible learning environment. From our campus, you can look out on the lush agricultural fields of the Salinas Valley, the historic city of Monterey, and the bay itself – all places where students apply their learning through internships, service learning and research. A Rich History Our campus is on the site of the former Fort Ord Army base, which has some perks. For example, the residence hall rooms are much bigger than average because they are in remodeled officers quarters. In keeping with our green philosophy, we’ve reused whenever possible, so you’ll find many bits and pieces of this history all over campus.
