We believe anyone can turn a dream into reality with determination, hard work and a love for learning, and we’re committed to helping make that happen through an enhanced student experience.
“CSUMB has helped break me out of my shell. Before, I couldn’t talk in front of a classroom. My nerves were very shaky. Now, I’m an elementary school teacher and feel like I can talk to anyone.”
