Office of the Provost

Welcome to CBU Academic Affairs

California Baptist University takes its commitment to strong academics and spiritual values very seriously. Academically, we seek to provide students with the knowledge and hands-on skills that they will need to excel in today's workforce. Our faculty is made up of knowledgeable and compassionate Christian scholars who come from all walks of life.

Our faith-based perspective means that you will gain an understanding of values and ethics that will be important to you in your career. Having a command of facts and figures will only take you so far in the changing times we live in. But understanding how to put knowledge to work in the service of God will take you any place you want to go.

At CBU we are committed to the success of our students. Our faculty will challenge you to think critically and apply what you learn. Our library will give you the tools and the resources for deep inquiry into the academic disciplines. We also provide students with academic assistance through our Office of Student Success.

CBU alumni have made significant contributions to the fields of ministry, education, law, psychotherapy and business. Our future alumni will continue to impact our world in new and exciting ways. Will you be among them?

On behalf of your future professors and academic support staff, welcome to CBU!

Charles "Chuck" D. Sands, PhD, Provost
