Welcome
Welcome to California University of Pennsylvania's Web site. I encourage you to browse through our site and find out some information about Cal U and the variety of academic programs and extra-curricular activities that we offer to students.
The Office of Academic Affairs comprises the three undergraduate colleges, College of Education and Human Services, the College of Liberal Arts and the Eberly College of Science and Technology, and the School of Graduate Studies and Research.
A number of student services are also housed in this area including the Registrar, Admissions, Articulation and Transcript Evaluation, Advisement and Manderino Library.
In addition to the main campus, students are offered a variety of educational opportunities at off-campus sites including the Southpointe Center located at the Southpointe Technology Park in Canonsburg and at the Pittsburgh Center, located in the Regional Enterprise Tower (the former Alcoa Building) in downtown Pittsburgh. Cal U also offers classes in Johnstown and Somerset.
Cal U traces its history back more than 150 years to an Academy founded in the small town of California in 1852. We are a proud member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and join with the 13 other institutions to offer higher education to more than 100,000 students each year.
Partnerships are critical to success in higher education. We have partnerships with a variety of institutions and organizations, public and private. The goal is to better serve our students and to be an exemplary community resource.
The University's core values of Integrity, Civility and Responsibility guide our interactions. We adhere to the University's Rights and Responsibilities and all of this reflects the University's Mission, to be the best public university in America.
I urge you to visit California University and see for yourself what we are all about. All new student housing, a beautiful campus, caring and concerned faculty members, dynamic academic programs and a long list of student extracurricular activities make Cal U a university on the move. I invite you to come along!
