President Angelo Armenti Welcomes You to Cal U

Welcome to California University of Pennsylvania! We are very pleased to have you with us.

Whether you are a high school student who wants to pursue your degree on a lively campus with exceptional facilities, or a graduate student seeking a University that will accommodate your outside commitments and busy schedule, Cal U is where you want to be.

Since 1852, students have seized the opportunity to develop their character and careers here. A student-centered University that is committed to academic excellence and intellectual achievement in the context of Integrity, Civility and Responsibility, Cal U is large enough to offer a variety of programs but small enough to provide a family atmosphere. We take pride in the fact that we know many of our students by name.

We're proud to say that our University is on a roll. Cal U has made dramatic strides in enrollment growth, academic excellence, faculty quality, character education and campus development in the past two decades. Our SAT scores and the class rank of incoming students are at the highest levels in our history. More than 100 new faculty members have joined Cal U in the past five years. Our new residence halls have been showcased by the National Building Museum for energy and design excellence, and very shortly the University will unveil a new regional convocation center. Since 2004, Cal U has annually been ranked one of the best regional universities in the Northeast by The Princeton Review.

Your education is a lifetime investment. Our students not only build a foundation for future success here but are inspired by esteemed faculty members and meet lifelong friends. It is a place where you can pursue endless opportunities to become involved in student projects, activities and team sports that help build your character. Many of our students and alumni are committed to sharing those benefits with future generations of Cal U students, an initiative known as Cal U for Life. One of the best investments you can make is a Cal U education. Cal U for Life will help you create a lifetime of benefits.

We invite you to experience Cal U and everything we have to offer. Welcome! We look forward to getting to know you.
