CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
California University of Pennsylvania, a comprehensive regional institution of higher education and a member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, is a diverse caring and scholarly learning community dedicated to excellence in the liberal arts, science and technology, and professional studies that is devoted to building character and careers, broadly defined. The University is inspired by its core values of integrity, civility, and responsibility and is guided by its bill of rights and responsibilities: We have the right to safety and security, we have the responsibility to ensure the safety and security of others; We have the right to be treated with respect, we have the responsibility to treat others with respect; We have the right to expect the best, we have the responsibility to give our best; We have the right to be treated fairly, we have the responsibility to treat others fairly.
California University of Pennsylvania is in the opportunity business. Since 1852, thousands of students have seized the opportunity we offer to improve, not only their lives, but the lives of the people they have touched.
Our alumni are practicing professionals in health care, education, law, public service, business, environmental studies, and government, and the list does not stop there. From South American rain forests to the Hubble space telescope, California University graduates are using their education to continue the never-ending search for knowledge. In all walks of life, California University graduates are helping to make the world a better place.
At California, we place great emphasis on people. We have a dedicated faculty, a caring and concerned staff, excellent facilities, an exemplary educational program, and a variety of extra-curricular activities, all dedicated to helping students to get the most from their college experience.
Learning is not confined to the classroom. The university experience should be a broad one. Personal growth is proportional to the wise use of the many resources available. So we encourage our students to become involved in the total life of the university and its surrounding communities.
We also foster a family atmosphere. We are small enough to care about individuals, yet large enough to be able to offer a variety of programs.
