Scientific innovation has produced roughly half of all U.S. economic growth in the last 50 years, and the California State University has made it a priority to provide a well-rounded education for the next generation of scientists. Offering a wide variety of bachelor’s and master’s degrees, the CSU aims to prepare students for science-related careers through hands-on learning with laboratory and field experiences, faculty mentorship and in-depth theoretical learning in seminar classes. 
Extensive research is behind every scientific discovery, and the CSU has created an environment where faculty and students can expand their skill set and make a difference in scientific research. With facilities filled with state-of-the-art equipment, CSU faculty have been able to make strides in the realm of science, such as developing novel approaches to disease treatments, providing in-depth insight about natural disasters and helping NASA discover new planets. 
The California State University is committed to improving the nation’s competiveness in science and technology by preparing K-12 teachers who are competent in science and mathematics and educating youngsters about STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines.
More than 600 researchers, mentors, students and faculty from across the California State University system came together this month to showcase CSU excellence in the sciences and technologies that comprise biotechnology. The Twenty-Fourth Annual CSU Biotechnology Symposium provided a chance for participants to share knowledge and build relationships.
