California Coast University

The Mission of California Coast University is to offer quality off-campus, non-residential, undergraduate and graduate degree programs to a special population of self-directed, mid-career adults, utilizing a combination of distance learning and correspondence methodologies. California Coast University is committed to meeting the needs of qualified, highly motivated, independent students whose geographic, professional or personal time constraints keep them from completing their education in traditional, on-campus education programs. California Coast University is committed to offering a curriculum which challenges our students to integrate their professional and life experience with mastery of the academic content required by their discipline that can be completed through independent, self-paced instruction under faculty supervision, which does not require attendance at any specific location, either on or off campus. The University is committed to operate ethically and professionally, with academic integrity and respect for the individual; to cultivate in our students and graduates the same intellectual, analytical and critical abilities encouraged by other institutions of higher learning; and to build students competencies in areas critical to their success in today's ever changing environment.
