Welcome from the Dean

Prospective students, we invite you to visit our campus or take an online tour. You'll read about our top quality academic programs. You'll find opportunities to work closely with faculty, made possible by our impressive faculty-student ratio, and to polish your leadership skills through our many student organizations. Your goals and our vision may well be the same match that it is for our current 2,500 undergraduate and 500 graduate students.

Students, weekly mentoring and advising sessions are again underway. Pick up a schedule in Undergrad Advising, JB404.

Take a close look at what's behind the recognition noted by the logos below. In our accredited programs, you'll discover the people and information you need to reach your goals. And if you can't find what you're looking for online, there are contact numbers for every department and program where faculty and staff are ready to help. Your success is our mutual goal.

To our community visitors, we encourage you to visit your community link on this page to learn more about the diverse programs and opportunities to become involved with CBPA.  I am looking forward to working with you all.  CBPA is a great place to get involved. Join us!

Explore the College

The College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA) is fully accredited by both AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, and NASPAA - The National Association of Schools of Public Affairs & Administration.  As of June 2007, less than 10% of the world's business schools have achieved accreditation from AACSB!  Less than one third of U.S. business schools have achieved accreditation from AACSB!   549 member institutions hold AACSB business accreditation.

The mission of the college in action as an applied business program plays a key role in developing an educated and entrepreneurial workforce that in turn enables the community to attract and keep quality jobs in the region.

Providing 16 concentrations in both undergraduate and graduate degree programs, with campuses in San Bernardino and Palm Desert, the CBPA has produced over 15,000 graduates--the majority of whom live and work in the growing and booming economy of Southern California.

The University operates on a three quarter system and students can be accepted to start their programs in the Fall, Winter or Spring quarters. A limited number of classes are offered during the Summer session. Courses are offered during the daytime and the evenings year-round to accommodate traditional students and working adults.
