  • Offer curricula and co-curricular activities that encompass life skills, analytical thinking, and technical proficiencies that prepare students to become engaged citizens and professional leaders.
  • Prepare students to think critically and problem-solve creatively through responsive, flexible, disciplinary, and interdisciplinary curricula.
  • Leverage faculty, staff and student expertise, together with industry partnerships, in developing affordable, high-impact educational experiences that are responsive to students’ strengths, needs and aspirations.
  • Engage students in robust professional internships, international education, service learning, faculty-mentored research, and hands-on learning experiences in and out of the classroom. Create incentives to build academic, research, and student life programs that expand knowledge and prepare our students for the workplaces of today and tomorrow.

 See how we're getting there...

At Long Beach State, we are rethinking how to remain effective in our communication strategy with students, as rapidly evolving technology presents numerous engagement modes that can detract from delivering a clear message. These changes are complex, and universities are challenged to be effective in their approach. 

The modernization of curriculum, shared spaces, and engagement are at the forefront of CSULB’s efforts to reimagine our campus to best meet the demands of today’s students. To ready ourselves for the future of learning, we are reimagining what student engagement looks like, and in the process, diving into an invigorating process of transformation.

Efforts to enhance CSULB’s capacity for engaging all students goes hand-in-hand with our desire to attract learners from outside California and the U.S. to enrich our campus with diverse perspectives. 

To ensure CSULB is student ready, unifying university academic advising practices and aligning goals with our strategic mission is the objective of a newly assembled task force.
