Our Impact
Cal State LA Athletics is driven by an unwavering commitment to academic excellence, student‑athlete well‑being, integrity, and competitive achievement. We set ambitious academic standards—including a department-wide goal of a 3.0 team GPA and a 95% graduation rate—supported by comprehensive advising, career development, and life-skills programming that prepare student-athletes for success long after their collegiate careers.

We foster a culture that prioritizes mental, physical, and emotional wellness through exceptional coaching, strong healthcare partnerships, and deep collaboration across campus. This holistic approach empowers Golden Eagles to thrive as leaders both on and off the field.

In recent years, Cal State LA Athletics has emerged as one of the nation’s premier NCAA Division II programs. Our teams have achieved historic competitive success while continuing to elevate academic outcomes and personal development.

Private philanthropy fuels this progress. Donor support strengthens scholarships, enhances facilities, and expands student‑athlete services—ensuring we sustain our upward trajectory and open doors for future generations of Golden Eagles.
