Army ROTC
The Army ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is one of the best leadership courses in the country and can be a part of your college curriculum. Being a student at California Baptist University and learning to become a leader will make your college experience even more vibrant and prepare you for the future. We will educate, train and commission leaders of character for the Total Army and will develop accomplished, responsible citizens who value service to their communities.
Scholarships and stipends in Army ROTC pay for college courses and help you focus on what's important. Namely, getting that college degree — not how you'll pay for it. Whether you're a college-bound high school student or already attending a college or university, Army ROTC has scholarships available. Scholarships are awarded based on a students’ merit and grades, not financial need.
Athletics
Our mission at CBU Athletics is to honor Christ through excellence in athletics. CBU Athletics is a NCAA Division I institution and part of the WAC Conference. We host approximately 150 athletic events on campus each year. Our athletic programs include: baseball, men’s and women’s (m/w) basketball, m/w cross country, m/w golf, m/w soccer, softball, m/w swim and dive, volleyball, m/w track, m/w water polo, and wrestling. Current CBU students always receive free admission to home events with a valid CBU Student ID. When you attend an event and sit in the student section you become a CRAZIE! The CRAZIES tradition of loud and enthusiastic support helps to give our Lancers the home advantage.

Information Technology Services
The ITS team strives to provide seamless access to Information, Resources, and Services to enhance and support the learning experience through the use of innovative technologies.
To accomplish this, a convergence philosophy is used in the decision process when infrastructures and systems are needed to support students, faculty, and staff.
In collaboration with constituents on campus and partnerships with businesses, ITS strives to be at the forefront of technology and to provide excellent service.
Human capital is an important part in technology as systems are created, managed, and used by people. Human knowledge and motivation are critical components of productivity. When combined with good institutional culture, soul, and spirit, the result is a wellspring of high performance. This holistic approach in developing an entire person is what CBU is committed to – helping all to “Live Your Purpose.”
