A Campus Built for San Joaquin County
CSU Stanislaus is developing a new state-of-the-art Tracy Campus, expanding access to higher education for students across San Joaquin County. For the first time, many local students will be able to pursue a four-year degree close to home, helping families save time, reduce commuting costs, and build careers in the communities where they live.
The campus will grow in phases, shaped by enrollment trends. Pacific Gateway is generously donating the inaugural signature building to launch the first phase.
"Rooted in the heart of the Central Valley, this opportunity to extend the promise of education at Pacific Gateway offers a visionary pathway to strengthen our regional impact and enhance access to higher education."

Pacific Gateway will open new doors for students, workers, and small businesses to participate in California's innovation economy. Creating local academic opportunities reduces commutes, retains talent, and builds a stronger economic foundation for surrounding communities.
San Joaquin County residents will no longer need to leave the region to earn a four-year degree and graduates will have the careers to match, right where they grew up.
