About California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB)

CSUSB is a preeminent center of intellectual and cultural activity in Inland Southern California. Set at the foothills of the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains, the university serves more than 20,000 students each year and graduates about 4,000 students annually.

 

CSUSB reflects the dynamic diversity of the region and has the most diverse student population of any university in the Inland Empire, and it has the second highest African American and Hispanic enrollments of all public universities in California. Seventy percent of those who graduate are the first in their families to do so.

 

The Palm Desert Campus (PDC) is an integral part of CSUSB and is situated 70 miles east of San Bernardino in the heart of the Coachella Valley. The PDC has an enrollment of approximately 1,400 and offers more than 40 degree and credential programs at the bachelor's and master's degree levels and an Ed.D. in educational leadership. One of the region's most beautiful venues, the PDC is a cultural center for the region and serves as the intellectual hub for the Coachella Valley. A master plan to transform the PDC from a suburban commuter campus to a residential campus that will serve an estimated enrollment of 8,000 full-time equivalent students was recently approved by California State University.
