Founded in 1922, College of San Mateo is the largest and oldest of the three colleges in the San Mateo County Community College District and serves nearly 10,000 students each semester.

Today CSM continues to offer students what it has considered so important since its establishment: academic excellence and a very personal, individualized education at an exceptional value.

CSM's outstanding faculty complement the variety of educational options such as:

• Transfer and general education programs
• Occupational, technical and lifelong learning opportunities
• Fast-track, evening, weekend, TV and online courses

Plus, CSM's academic and career counseling, financial aid, child care services and scholarship programs are just some of the many resources available to students—and the reasons that so many CSM grads enjoy unparalleled success.
