History
From a single campus chartered in 1957 to meet the needs of southern Alameda County, the Cal State East Bay now strives to serve the greater East Bay with two spacious and well-equipped campuses--one in the Hayward Hills and the other in the Concord foothills of Mt. Diablo--as well as a Professional Development Center in downtown Oakland. And while its original mission was teacher preparation, Cal State East Bay today emphasizes broad professional education with more than 100 career-focused fields of study, many developed in direct response to regional economic and social needs. Since inception, the University has prepared 90,000 graduates for productive careers. Of these, an estimated 85% live and work in the East Bay--an impressive and significant contribution to the region's economic well-being. Looking ahead, the University has plans well underway to meet the growing-- and changing--higher education needs of its region.
