California
State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) is a four-year, public university in Camarillo, California. Established in 2002, CSUCI is the
youngest of 23 campuses in the California State University system, and as such has an energy and vibrancy that’s felt everywhere on
campus. Contrary to what the name suggests, Camarillo is nestled against the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains and close to the
Pacific Ocean and the Pacific Coast Highway. As the only public four-year university in Ventura County, CSUCI serves as a unique institution
in the region. Its economic and fiscal impacts benefit the economies of the local communities in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, the
region, and throughout the entire state. These impacts generate significant benefits in the form of increased employment, labor income, and
economic output. Moreover, CSUCI’s operations generate millions in tax revenue—money that goes toward important public
services.
Since opening its doors, California State University Channel Islands has provided a student-centered, innovative, creative
education to its more than 5,000 students and 27,000 alumni. CSUCI has been enthusiastically supported by the local community, which has
stepped in to ensure its success. For many, establishing a four-year public university in Ventura County was a dream in the making, and
local supporters have invested in bringing that dream to life. The university is proud to serve the region and to invest in the economic,
civic, and cultural vitality of the community.
U.S. News & World Report ranked CSUCI 11th in the “Top
Performers on Social Mobility” category and 12th on its list of “Top Public Schools.” CSUCI’s Nursing
program was ranked the 11th best program in the state of California (out of 126 nursing schools) by
RegisteredNursing.org. CSU Channel Islands is a great choice for transfer students, having been ranked fourth on the MONEY
Magazine “Best College for Transfer Students” list. And College Magazine named the institution 6th
among the “Top 10 Colleges for Surfers.” In 2022, CSUCI was named a “Tree Campus USA” for the 10th year
in a row.
