California State University - Chico Campus

We’re regularly named among U.S. News & World Report’s Top Public Universities in the West. Our historic campus is within walking and biking distance of Chico’s charming, tree-lined downtown. Our graduates go on to become leaders in their careers and communities. But there’s still one thing missing: You.

Call us. Email us. However you get in touch, we want to hear from you. We’ll connect you with an admission expert who can answer your questions during office hours. (And if you call during business hours, we guarantee a live person on the other end—no automated voice messages.)

All student types will complete their application to Chico State online through Cal State Apply. As long as you meet certain GPA and other requirements, you’re eligible!
