We offer upper division courses that earn full academic credit and lead to selected baccalaureate and master's degrees and credentials. The faculty, staff, administrators, and students of California State University, Stanislaus, are committed to creating a learning environment which encourages all members of the campus community to expand their intellectual, creative, and social horizons. We chall
enge one another to realize our potential, to appreciate and contribute to the enrichment of our diverse community, and to develop a passion for lifelong learning. To facilitate this mission, we promote academic excellence in the teaching and scholarly activities of our faculty, encourage personalized student learning, foster interactions and partnerships with our surrounding communities, and provide opportunities for the intellectual, cultural, and artistic enrichment of the region. To achieve our mission and vision:
We inspire all members of the campus community to demand more of self than we do of others to attain new knowledge and challenge assumptions. We challenge one another to be fully engaged, responsible citizens with the ethics, knowledge, skills, and desire to improve self and community. We value learning that encompasses lifelong exploration and discovery through intellectual integrity, personal responsibility, global and self-awareness, grounded in individual student-faculty interactions. We are a student-centered community committed to a diverse, caring, learning-focused environment that fosters collegial, reflective and open exchange of ideas. We, as students, create the collegiate experience through initiative, participation, motivation, and continual growth to meet the demands of self and others. We, as faculty, elicit, nurture, and enhance the different voices of our selves, students and communities through deliberate engagement, continual discovery and ongoing transformation. We, as staff and administrators, contribute to the learning environment by demonstrating the knowledge, skills and values that serve and support the University’s mission.
