Stanislaus State will capitalize on its strengths in business, agriculture, and education while expanding its impact on the region in supply chain/logistics, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. The portfolio of programs will ultimately be designed to address regional needs and provide a differentiated experience from programs located on the Stockton campus.
The initial phase will include a striking, state-of-the-art inaugural building that offers flexible classroom spaces, faculty and administrative offices, and student collaboration areas.
The opportunity for a Stan State Tracy campus is rooted in collaboration, and its success will grow from the collective support of community and regional stakeholders. With this crucial support, Stan State could break ground as early as the fourth quarter of 2026, with an anticipated completion date in second quarter of 2028.
