Dean's Message
WELCOME TO THE COLLEGE OF PROFESSIONAL AND CONTINUING EDUCATION (CPaCE) AT CSULB. As an interdisciplinary college, we work closely with our university, business, community, and international partners to serve California’s workforce and economy.
Our college provides programs and services that are open to all who are seeking personal and professional growth. Many of our programs serve professionals in the workforce, and we are also the central unit to promote internationalization at the university. We recognize our role in an interconnected global community, and we integrate that perspective into everything that we do.
I would like to invite you to view our blog CPaCE News. You will see many posts about the recent accomplishments of our students, alumni, faculty, and community partners. It is a wonderful way to gain an understanding of who we are and what we do. I hope you enjoy reading it.
