President’s Message


Fram Virjee, president

Dear Titan Students:

On behalf of the faculty and staff of California State University, Fullerton, I am proud to share our University Catalog, a resource with limitless opportunities to explore and engage in both high-quality curriculum options and transformative avenues for professional success – no matter the modality by which they are delivered. To be sure, as more Titans are vaccinated and the local, state and national health guidelines allow us to safely repopulate the campus, there will be more in-person classes, programs and extra-curricular activities to engage in. But regardless of how and when we can safely return to our beloved campus in person, know that our faculty and staff are working hard to ensure all-things-Titan are just as impactful and accessible whether they be virtual, in-person or a hybrid of both

With that in mind, I encourage you to proactively familiarize yourself with the university in every way possible, and to do so as if you are creating your own life-changing adventure – because you are! If you dive into all your options and get involved with all your heart, your Titan adventure will be all the more transformative, the journey all the more impactful, and perhaps most importantly, the learning all the more fun!

Our eight colleges offer 110 exceptional degree programs – 55 undergraduate and 55 graduate, including doctorates in both education and nursing practice – with full accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College University Commission. These programs are further distinguished by faculty and staff who are dedicated to providing you with immersive experiences that will both shape your dreams and empower you to achieve them.

And finally, when we all return to campus and you see me and my wife, Julie, at an event or out for a stroll, please stop us and introduce yourselves. After all, you are the reason we are here, and just like every one of the more than 8,000 Titan educators who serve you, we see you for your incredible strengths and are grateful for the immeasurable ways you lift us up – as a student, a leader, a future college graduate, and above all else, a Titan!

The meaning behind that lifelong moniker will expand exponentially as you begin to know what it takes to achieve excellence in our communities, diversity in our workforce, and social justice in our nation. It takes tenacity and grit; it takes a catalyst for change; it takes academic rigor and excellence; it takes service and servant leaders.

In other words, it takes a Titan – a Titan just like you.

Sincerely,

Fram Virjee
President
