Welcome to our site and to CSUB... It's your University.

A question I often am asked is, "Just what is a Provost?" At its essence, the provost is the chief academic officer of a university, charged with overseeing and achieving the academic mission of the University. The provost also is the chief administrative officer second to the President.

At CSUB, we are committed to academic excellence. Our commitment to academic excellence is exemplified in our bold, new vision of becoming the leading campus in the CSU system in the next ten years. We will achieve this vision through the collaborative efforts of outstanding faculty and administrators and dedicated students.

As you explore the links on this page, you will discover a rich diversity of courses and curricula offered in our School of Business and Public Administration, School of Education, School of Humanities & Social Sciences, and School of Natural Science and Mathematics, and our Extended University Division. You will find a vast array of resources for students and the community in our Walter Stiern Library, Information Technology, and Institutional Planning and Research Departments.

Thank you for visiting the website of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
