Cal Poly Humboldt is a public institution and part of the 23-campus
California State University system. Surrounded by ancient redwood
forests, pristine coastline, and wild rivers, the approximately
5,700 students enrolled at the institution can choose from nearly
60 majors and 13 graduate programs. Students receive personal
attention in small classes where professors know them by name.
Programs in natural resources and sciences are nationally known,
and students find a long-standing commitment to social and
environmental responsibility throughout the curriculum. There are
also plenty of opportunities for hands-on learning—on the Coral
Sea, an ocean-going vessel used for undergraduate research, or
studying with the world’s foremost expert on redwood trees and with
leading experts in sustainable energy systems. The cutting-edge
Fire Lab allows students to study the properties of forest fires
and they can study the mechanics of walking in the Human
Performance Lab. The Schatz Energy Research Center and the Child
Development Lab, among many others specialized facilities, offer
additional experiential learning opportunities. A rich campus life
provides a multitude of activities outside the classroom.
With faculty members who are among the top teachers and researchers
in their fields, it is no surprise that Cal Poly Humboldt receives
national recognition. Recently named a top western university by
U.S. News & World Report, the institution is also considered a
“Best in the West” college by Princeton Review. The same
publication also named Cal Poly Humboldt to its “Green College”
list. It has appeared on the President’s Higher Education Community
Service Honor Roll and was named a military friendly school by G.I.
Jobs magazine. Additional rankings include a top vegan-friendly
school by PETA and a top LGBT-friendly school by Campus
Pride.
