Financial and Enrollment Data
As a self-support college, CPaCE does not receive state funding, and is required to cover all program development and infrastructure support using a portion of the revenue derived from its many course offerings.
CPaCE Impact
As of 2024, the College of Professional and Continuing Education (CPaCE) has moved away from publishing an annual report and is instead providing regular updates on this redesigned page to showcase our impact. You'll find a link to our financial and enrollment data for the previous academic year. We're also proud to present this curated selection of success stories featuring the recent achievements of our students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community partners. Together, we are expanding access to higher education and helping to make CSULB a hub for lifelong learning.
