About This Campus
CSUMB is residential campus with 8000 students. CSUMB offers a practical, employment-based education with an emphasis on service learning. Through our famous Service Learning Institute, you can make a meaningful impact while establishing industry connections and gaining hands-on real-world experience. Our diverse student body receives personal attention in small classes, while enjoying access to all the amenities of a safe, close-knit residential campus located on the beautiful Monterey Bay.Location Information
Monterey Bay is a small, friendly area with breathtaking vistas. The pristine beaches are perfect for relaxation, and marine wildlife can be seen during any stroll along the coast. Locals enjoy hiking mountains, biking beside the ocean, or sipping local wine. The town is home to a famous aquarium and dazzling golf courses. Located in the center of the California shoreline, CSUMB students have easy access to great destinations like LA, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Yosemite National Park.Helpful Information
Unlike many other California universities, CSUMB allows exchange students to enroll in classes before coming to campus, as long as they have applied by priority deadlines. While we cannot guarantee that you will get into every class you request, this increases the likelihood that you will be happy with your schedule. Please use the current class schedule (csumb.edu/schedule), not the catalog, when choosing courses, and be sure to check that you meet all pre-requisites.Campus Links
