Mission & Philosophy

At CSUS, we inspire motivated learners to lead meaningful lives in a rapidly changing world. Our intimate, collaborative community encourages students to pursue passions, explore new interests, build confidence, develop compassion and thrive in an environment of academic excellence.
We believe that students learn best in an environment that
  • promotes learning in diverse ways about a complex world
  • stimulates intellectual and creative development
  • nurtures the individual within an inclusive community of mutual trust, caring, and respect
  • balances academic and extracurricular interests and accomplishments
We encourage
  • critical thinking and intellectual risk-taking
  • responsibility for one's ideas and actions
  • personal integrity, ethical awareness, multicultural understanding and inclusiveness
  • individual leadership and cooperative interaction
  • respect for one's self and for the views of others
We endeavor to equip students with
  • a spirit of inquiry
  • a respect for human potential
  • a sense of responsibility for the environment and to the global community
  • a feeling of joy in lifelong learning
