CAMPUS STRATEGIC PLANNING
MISSION
California State
University San Marcos focuses on the student as an
active participant in the learning process. Students
work closely with a faculty whose commitment to
sustained excellence in teaching, research, and
community partnership enhances student learning. The
university offers rigorous undergraduate and graduate
programs distinguished by exemplary teaching,
innovative curricula, and the application of new
technologies. CSUSM provides a range of services that
respond to the needs of a student body with diverse
backgrounds, expanding student access to an excellent
and affordable education. As a public university,
CSUSM grounds its mission in the public trust,
alignment with regional needs, and sustained
enrichment of the intellectual, civic, economic, and
cultural life of our region and state.
VISION
In
its second decade, California State University San
Marcos will become a distinctive public university
known for academic excellence, service to the
community, and innovation in higher education. In its
teaching and student services, CSUSM will combine the
academic strengths of a large university with the
personal interaction characteristic of smaller
institutions. Students will select from a growing
array of specialized programs responsive to state and
regional needs. Our curriculum will emphasize a
strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences
while it provides the knowledge, skills, competencies
and experiences needed in a global society
experiencing accelerated technological, social, and
environmental change. A faculty of active scholars
and artists will foster student learning through
teaching that reflects ongoing discovery and
experimentation. CSUSM will celebrate and capitalize
on its diversity to form a learning community
committed to this shared vision.
