California State University, Monterey Bay

Empowered by an inspiring Founding Vision Statement, CSUMB, as an institution, transforms students' lives through a focus on student success and engagement in its regional community. CSUMB is a comprehensive, mid-sized, four-year university of 7,800 students. With 56% of students living on campus, CSUMB is the most residential university in the CSU system and boasts a vibrant campus culture. CSUMB currently has 194 tenure-line faculty and 298 lecturers, an alumni base of 24,000, and a current annual operating budget of $150 million. While CSUMB serves students from across California and beyond, 42% of the University's undergraduates come from Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties. Given the University's commitment to the success of every student, the faculty, staff, and administration have successfully increased student retention and completion in comparison to the rest of the CSU. The campus community prides itself on making world-class higher education accessible to traditionally underserved, first-generation, and low-income populations.

CSUMB's Founding Vision Statement has guided the development of the University, which was envisioned as a comprehensive public university that values service through high-quality education. The Founding Vision Statement emphasizes service to the diverse people of California, especially the working class, historically undereducated and low-income populations. The statement further articulates a substantive commitment to multilingual, multicultural, gender-equitable learning. The ethos includes a culture of innovation in its overall conceptual design and organization in service to the economy of the state, the well-being of regional communities, and the quality of life and development of its students, faculty, and service areas.

Through this initial vision, CSUMB strives to become a model pluralistic academic community where everyone learns and teaches one another in an atmosphere of mutual respect and the pursuit of excellence. The faculty and staff are motivated to excel in their respective fields and to contribute to the broadly defined university environment. CSUMB's graduates develop an understanding of regional interdependence and global competence, distinctive technical and educational skills, transformative experiences and abilities to contribute to California's high-quality workforce, critical thinking abilities to be productive citizens, and a focus on social responsibility championed with skills to be community builders. Through their efforts, university students and personnel, analytically and creatively, strive to meet critical state and regional needs, and to provide California with responsible and creative leadership.

Monterey Bay and the Campus

Monterey Bay is on the central coast of California, just two hours south of San Francisco. The bay itself is one of the largest marine protected preserves in the world and home to whales, deep sea anglerfish, and the sea otter, CSUMB's mascot. The CSUMB campus is close to pristine beaches, oak forests, tidepools, and the Fort Ord National Monument. Monterey has ideal weather: over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 44°F to 68°F and is rarely below 37°F or above 77°F.

The campus sits halfway between the Monterey Peninsula, which features the coastal communities of Carmel, Pacific Grove, Monterey, Marina, and Seaside, and the Salinas Valley, known as the 'Salad Bowl of the World' for its abundant agricultural production. The city of Salinas is the county seat and served as the setting for many of John Steinbeck's novels.

The campus straddles the cities of Seaside and Marina, which are small, diverse communities where many students live and work. The history of the former military base is evident across the CSUMB campus.

In addition to CSUMB's main campus, the University maintains a presence in Salinas and Monterey, providing instruction and community outreach through downtown Salinas, rural communities in south Monterey County, and the Ryan Ranch development in Monterey.

The College of Health Sciences and Human Services

The mission of the College of Health Sciences and Human Services is to strengthen the quality of life of the diverse communities with whom we live, work and serve through collaborative and community-informed education, research, training and service. Its recently developed vision is to create health, fitness and well-being in a socially just environment that honors equality, inclusiveness, cultural responsiveness, and active community engagement.

The College values a culture of inclusiveness and advocating for social equity through curricula, mentorships, applied research projects, and collaborations. Its interprofessional education efforts bring students together in a team-based learning environment to develop collegial, influential leaders serving in allied-health settings.

The College provides high-quality, innovative academic programs that meet the educational needs of students, the region, and the state in the fields of health science, human services, social work, sport science, and human performance and wellness. The College offers Bachelor's degrees in Collaborative Health and Human Services, Kinesiology, and Nursing, and a Master's degree in Social Work, and is focused on rapidly growing its offering of dynamic, new programs and degrees. It has built and maintains strong community partnerships that provide students and faculty with rich opportunities through a variety of field placements, internships, clinical rotations, and applied research projects.

The BS in Collaborative Health and Human Services is a unique and interdisciplinary program designed to prepare students for careers in health and human services fields. The program is distinctive in its emphasis on collaboration, integration, and community engagement, reflecting the complex and interconnected nature of health and human services work. The program offers concentrations in Public Administration/Nonprofit Management, Social Work, and Public Health, and includes a robust internship experience with one of our 160 community partners on the Central Coast.

The BS in Kinesiology develops science-based, practitioner-focused, comprehensive expertise in the human body. Graduates use knowledge in exercise, sport, behavior change, and wellness to improve all aspects of life. We are recognized by the National Strength and Conditioning Association for expertise in Strength and Conditioning for human performance and are closely aligned with the American College of Sports Medicine, with a Gold Medal winning Exercise is Medicine program. Kinesiology is the largest program in the College and has a strong presence in the local community.

The accredited BS in Nursing program provides a streamlined pathway for students with an Associate Degree in Nursing to attain a Bachelor's degree. The nursing department sustains strong partnerships with multiple community colleges and its graduates make significant impacts on the regional healthcare workforce.

CSUMB's accredited Master of Social Work Program recently doubled the number of students accepted (n=100) to its competitive program, with assistance from an HCAI expansion grant, and expects to grow again next year with a hybrid, weekend MSW program option. Through several million dollars in federal training grants (HRSA BHWET, HRSA SDS, DOE, and Title IV-E), the department now supports 50% of its students with scholarships. The vast majority of our MSW students come from the tri-county region, and return there to practice; 95% of them are employed in professional positions upon graduation.
