The California State University Board of Trustees approved a new designation and name for Humboldt State University: Cal Poly Humboldt.
Humboldt State has a new name and an updated mission as a polytechnic university, a move aimed at increasing sagging enrollment at an underused campus with high-demand STEM education and research offerings.
The sweeping change is already set on the university’s website and on Twitter, where fellow Cal Poly campuses welcomed the newest member of the cohort.Cal State’s polytechnic universities offer broader hands-on opportunities in STEM fields — science, technology, engineering and math — than other Cal State campuses.Trustees of California State University agreed with a report saying the standardized tests are less effective than high school grades in predicting college success.
The university is 30% underenrolled, and Cal State officials hope the polytechnic designation will help draw more students, including from North Coast tribal communities. Current enrollment is more than 5,700, including nearly 5,200 undergraduate students. The university expects to see enrollment increase by 50% within three years and by 100% within seven years.
The re-designation will not change the admissions process and tuition will not increase. Cal State is not increasing tuition in the 2022-23 academic year. Students who have already applied to the university do not need to reapply. Humboldt said one reason for a third polytechnic is to expand capacity for qualified applicants beyond the limited number accepted at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Pomona.
