See yourself in the real world At Cal U, character development begins with our core values: Integrity, Civility and Responsibility. But when these values are coupled with real-world training, something amazing happens. We see a big difference in the type of jobs our graduates land — and a difference in the type of employees they become. So before our students graduate, nearly all gain real-world, hands-on experience in their fields — whether it’s through job shadowing, internships or cooperative education.

All units feature air conditioning, carpeting, free local telephone service, cable TV hookups and high-speed Internet connection. Most students share a bathroom with only one other person, and never more than three others.
