CSUSB Palm Desert Campus

The Palm Desert Campus of California State University, San Bernardino, is a dynamic, student-centered learning community that aspires to create transformational opportunities that nurture and sustain the Coachella Valley's intellectual, environmental, economic, and cultural richness. By collaborating with and investing in students, faculty, staff, and communities, together we strive to define the future.

The Palm Desert Campus is a unique and special place. It is located in a world-class destination, it's safe and it's beautiful. The entire campus has been built by our generous community members, cities, and philanthropic organizations.



PDC has extraordinary staff and faculty who are passionate about their work supporting students; they are trained and dedicated professionals with the knowledge to admit, advise, and provide registration, financial aid, and other services to students; and they are connected with schools, parents, and communities to ensure that our students graduate with meaningful degrees, unforgettable college experiences and skills for success in both life and career.



By attending PDC, they are helping to improve not only their own lives but also the lives of their family and community members. The new hospitality management, entrepreneurship, and cyber security programs will continue to elevate PDC's reputation in the community and meet the needs of the region.
