Colleges & Departments

At the heart of our academics are Cal Poly Humboldt's three colleges — College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences; College of Natural Resource & Sciences; and College of Professional Studies. Each represents the strengths and breadth of our highly-regarded programs: a rigorous curriculum that focuses on social and environmental issues that are relevant today. A cornerstone of our curriculum is hands-on learning. From service learning projects in the local community and abroad, and collecting water samples from the Klamath River, to curating and managing campus art galleries, that practical experience prepares students for a career, graduate school, or whatever they decide to do in life. 

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

The College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences (CAHSS) is an artistic, creative, and intellectual community. It is an equitable partnership of staff, faculty, and students who are devoted to teaching, learning, and collaboration. The many fields within CAHSS provide the greatest breadth for service-learning, creative engagement, and professional opportunity within a diverse and changing society.

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

Cal Poly Humboldt is the perfect place to study and experience science. We’re surrounded by ancient redwoods and the Pacific Ocean, which provide an amazing living laboratory. And our faculty help students put their classroom learning to work through research, fieldwork, and lab experiences.

Grounded in a Cal Poly Humboldt liberal arts education, the College of Professional Studies applies core competencies in experiential, real-world contexts through internships, clinical, field, research, and service learning experiences.
