Strategic Priority #1

Believing in the primacy of learning, we will continue to develop high-quality learning environments both inside and outside the classroom.

California State University, Chico, above all else, is a center for active and life-long learning. Its heart and essence is the learning process: active collaboration among a community of diverse students, staff, and faculty that enables learning opportunities connecting classroom instruction, out-of-class experiences, and service. This collaboration results in discovering and rediscovering the joys of learning and enabling participants to become effective lifelong learners and engaged citizens.
