Why California State University, Fullerton
- Location: Fullerton, a city of approximately 140,000 inhabitants, is located in north Orange County, about 30 miles southeast of Central Los Angeles. It is part of the Southern California population center and within easy freeway access to all the diverse natural and cultural attractions of this region. The extensive development of the 42 miles of beaches in Orange County and the development of such attractions as the Disneyland Resort, Knott’s Berry Farm, Laguna Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters, Honda Center, Angel Stadium, Anaheim Convention Center, and Orange County Performing Arts Center continue to make tourism an increasingly important activity.
- Campus: The Cal State Fullerton campus has an efficient urban layout of facilities, developed to serve a predominantly commuting public. The university’s modern buildings were planned so that no student needs more than 10 minutes to go from one class to another. The campus is surrounded with xeriscape landscaping and drought-resistant groundcover, and parking areas. The ample freeway and surface street accommodations that approach the main entrance to the university’s campus also provide comparatively easy access to the great and diverse learning resources available in Southern California: many other colleges and universities; museums, libraries and art galleries; zoos; and the wide variety of economic, governmental, social and cultural activities and experiences that may be found in this dynamic and complex region of California and the United States.
- Students of the University: Much of the distinctive character and learning atmosphere of any campus comes from the nature and vitality of its students. Diversity, the synthesis of academic study with work and family interests, and strong records of participation and achievement are hallmarks of the student body at Cal State Fullerton.
- The Faculty: Central to the effectiveness of any institution of higher learning is the quality and dedication of its individual faculty members to teaching and scholarship. In the fall of 2020, there were 863 tenured and tenure-track faculty members and 1,179 lecturers. Almost all of the full-time faculty had some previous college or university teaching experience before coming to Cal State Fullerton. Faculty members also participate in a wide variety of scholarship and creative activities. Ninety-two percent of the tenured and tenure-track faculty have earned their doctoral degrees.
