Support. Belonging. Connections.

CSUN is more than your local California State University.

It’s where you’ll have the space to be yourself as you learn and grow. It’s where you’ll enjoy a strong sense of community and belonging as you explore new interests and develop your skills. It’s where you’ll benefit from hands-on learning opportunities and access to career-building internships and job opportunities.

It’s where lives are transformed and bright futures are built.
