About Us

Cal State Monterey Bay provides more than 5,000 students an extraordinary opportunity to learn on a residential campus on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula. Our diverse student body receives personal attention in small classes while pursing degrees in 23 undergraduate and eight graduate majors. Founded in 1995 on the former site of Fort Ord by educators and community leaders, Cal State Monterey Bay builds on that legacy as it explores innovative ways to meet the needs of a new generation of students while simultaneously powering the Monterey County economy.
