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 and has earned designation as both a Minority-Serving Institution and a Hispanic-Serving Institution. 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 guides the development of the University, which is 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 wellbeing 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. For example, the building housing the Visual and Public Art Department has made a studio and gallery space out of previously existing motor pool buildings.
In addition to CSUMB's main campus, the University maintains a presence in Salinas and Monterey, providing instruction and community outreach through facilities in downtown Salinas and the Ryan Ranch development in Monterey.
