| Mission | |
| School mission | Humboldt State University, situated in a serene, pastoral setting 270 miles north of San Francisco and just four miles from the Pacific Ocean, emphasizes learning by doing. The campus uses its location in the Redwoods as a natural resources classroom. HSU students have opportunities for hands-on research. Students dig into active fault zones, observe gray whales or mountain lions in their natural habitats, explore the rich biodiversity of old growth redwood forests and steep themselves in marine life aboard the ocean-going research vessel, Coral Sea. Small class sizes and the intimate natural setting foster friendliness and close student/faculty relationships. |
