Why CSUMB?
There are countless reasons to attend CSUMB. Here are just a few.
Lowest fees in the CSU
CSUMB has the lowest combined tuition and fee structure of all CSUs. We also offer a wide range of scholarships and other financial aid options. So you can focus more on your studies, and less on paying for your education.
A meaningful education
Our Service Learning program has been recognized nationally for its work in helping students examine issues of justice, diversity and social responsibility through service learning. Service Learning is required of all students, helping them become committed to public and community service.
Undergraduate research opportunities
Our Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center matches undergrad students up with faculty mentors who guide them in original research. This experience makes our students very competitive candidates in graduate school applications and prestigious fellowships.
A degree...and a capstone that shows what you can do
Every student completes a capstone project before graduating. This capstone demonstrates the knowledge and skills that you've gained while at CSUMB. It's a chance to show future employers and grad schools everything you're capable of - that you've got a degree and you know how to use it.
And we're near the beach
The shores of Monterey Bay are just one mile from campus. The weather is great and the sights are beautiful.
