A Message from the Dean

This is the right time and place for our students to be working on degrees and planning their careers: Southern California’s vibrant economy and its businesses are poised for exceptional growth in the global marketplace. With so much talent within the College of Business and Economics and the strong relationships we have with the business community, we are able to shape the lives of our students and help them influence business locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

We create opportunity, and our students are able to learn, thrive and prosper, and there’s no better reward for us than to see them excel in their careers. Welcome to the College of Business and Economics!

We are the largest business school in the state, and we have a very strong network of more than 60,000 graduates, which provides our students and alumni with remarkable professional resources. The considerable time and interest that our alumni invest in our students and programs is among the reasons our students succeed.

Our solid and active relationships with companies and organizations of varying sizes across all industries is also a hallmark of the college, and countless programs routinely bring students, faculty and business professionals together. Our Centers of Excellence work with an impressive range of companies, from micro-enterprise entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 CEOs. These business people share their expertise in the classroom and offer serious student consulting experiences that serve as a bridge between college and a successful career.

In addition to teaching and mentoring students, college faculty members also provide dynamic and groundbreaking research within their respective disciplines, and their students are an important part of that work. Both graduate and undergraduate students gain extraordinary exposure to cutting-edge investigation, and students often have the opportunity to publish their own work and establish a reputation within their fields.

This site offers many gateways to the opportunities that can take you just about anywhere you want to go. CSUF's College of Business and Economics, with our hands-on, innovative and globally focused curriculum and programs, is truly the very best learning laboratory for future business leaders.

Please take a look at our website. If you are a prospective student, you’ll find information about how and when to apply, admission requirements and the programs we offer. Alumni will find our alumni magazine, information about business events and ways to become involved.

We also welcome your comments and suggestions – we are eager to know what you are interested in and where you want to go.
