Palm Desert Campus
Cal State San Bernardino operates a permanent branch campus in Palm Desert, where a unique public-private partnership has built facilities with funds raised from municipalities, corporations, foundations and individuals. The Palm Desert campus provides the region with its only upper division institution of higher education and is helping to build the college-going rate in the Coachella Valley. The campus is addressing the region’s most significant needs by with programs to educate teachers, nurses and more. Some 1,000 students are enrolled in classes at the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus.
The campus opened its first permanent structure, the Mary Stuart Rogers Gateway Building, in 2002. A second complex, the Indian Wells Center for Educational Excellence and the Indian Wells Theater, opened at the end of 2004. A third building, the Palm Desert Health Sciences Building, will house nursing and other allied health sciences programs and will open in 2008.
Eight bachelor degrees, seven master’s degree programs and various credential programs are available at the Palm Desert Campus, including nursing, liberal studies, business and public administration.
