Chico State is home to a community of 16,000 students in over 150 experiential programs. A U.S News “Top Public School in the West” for 20 years running, we pride ourselves on our student-centered approach and our commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
Our faculty encourage students to become the very best versions of themselves, focusing on personal and professional growth and developing in them the confidence to take daily action towards the issues and goals that are most important to them. Our approach to learning means our students develop close connections to the local community and to the greater region that stretch far beyond classrooms and textbooks.
As a result, Chico students graduate as natural leaders; socially conscious, intellectually curious, and ready to make an impact and drive positive change in their industries and communities.
