Centers & Institutes
CSU, Chico is home to several centers, institutes and programs that provide a wide range of services to the university, its surrounding service area and beyond. Campus centers are started by individual faculty or staff who see a need for multiple funded projects with the same focus. Once a project grows to the point where it requires support staff and a central space in which to work, it may request designation by the Academic Senate as a center or institute.
