The Mike Curb College at CSUN, through its excellent and nationally-recognized programs, prepares and inspires our diverse and creative students to make a powerful and lasting impact on Los Angeles and beyond as leaders in the arts, media, and communication. As part of this vision, the Curb College features a variety of different Centers, Institutes and Community Programs that strengthen external relationships by creating seamless connections between the community and the campus for mutual benefit.
These enterprises expand upon the leading academic work of the Curb College through numerous external-facing activities and services. Each one projects our reach and impact directly into the community in the furtherance of our academic mission.
Your support of any of these ventures helps to build our capacity for transformation and growth. Many of these endeavors are sustained by fees paid by participants, and the generosity of community members like you in supporting these Centers and Institutes can lessen or even eliminate the costs borne by these members of our community.
