A Leader in Student SUCCESS

64 out of 100 students graduate in 6 years or less

Sixty-four out of every 100 students who join our College as freshmen graduate from CSUSB, and almost half remain as business and public administration majors. The percentage of Jack Brown students graduating in 6 years or less has surpassed the campus targets for 2025, nine years ahead!

Our path to success began with the design of a one-stop Student Success Center in 2012. In addition to professional academic and internship advising, the Center has added many high-impact programs such as student peer advisors, a business mentoring program and a passport program for student professional development.  In fall 2016, the Center reported more than 500 unique student contacts.  Our academic departments joined the movement by addressing bottleneck courses, adopting digital learning, mentoring discipline-based student clubs, promoting study abroad, and holding faculty conversations and professional development around the metric that matters most – student success.

In fall 2016, the College opened an innovation and collaboration space in on the first floor for student use. We designed study and lounging spaces on each floor of the Jack H. Brown Hall and supported the opening of a Coyote market where students can buy snacks any time. 

“We are proud that the Jack H. Brown College is becoming a home away from home, where our students do have the support and space to bring their dreams to reality,” said Vipin Gupta, JHBC Associate Dean – Innovation and Collaboration. “Together, we know we ca move the needle beyond our President’s and Chancellor’s goals.  We’ve done it before and plan to go even further.  We have to.  For the sake of a third of our students who still leave CSUSB not graduating and for other two thirds who do graduate!”
