Located on a 304-acre hillside overlooking the city of San Marcos, the University is just a short distance from some of Southern Californias best beaches. California State University San Marcos is a dynamic university dedicated to teaching future generations via hands-on experiences and cutting-edge science and computer labs. As a Carnegie designated community engaged university, we reach out intentionally and strategically to all the communities we serve, from underrepresented students to tribal neighbors to military establishments to health organizations to the business community to create partnerships that help address the region’s most critical issues. Whether through the service learning/civic engagement activities of our students or the engaged scholarship and research of our faculty, CSUSM is working in collaboration with its community partners to serve the public good.
