Cal State East Bay is in the heart of the bay, about 30 miles from San Francisco, 30 miles from San Jose and 100 from Sacramento.
For more than 60 years, Cal State East Bay has served the Bay Area as part of the California State University system, providing access to higher education for a diverse student body and advancing regional engagement through its academic programs and leadership.

The university was originally named the State College for Alameda County when it was officially established by the California State Assembly in 1957. The first academic year began in 1959 at Sunset High School in Cherryland with 25 faculty and 293 students. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the current Hayward Campus were held in February 1961 and the college moved to its permanent location in Fall 1963. (About Cal State East Bay)

Cal State East Bay has had 5 official name changes since its charter in 1957. It's now known as California State University, East Bay since 2005.

Through the changes of our university, Cal State East Bay is still home to the Pioneers. Our first mascot was an astronaut and continued with Pioneer Pete. As of Fall 2024, we have been granted a new mascot, the Peregrine Falcon. Don't worry, we're still the Pioneers!
