    The Unisys Approach

    One in every 20 Americans with a college degree is a graduate of the California State University system. When CSU needed to virtualize student, financial and administrative services for its vast student body as part of its Graduation Initiative 2025, it engaged Unisys.

    C-Suite Insight

    California State University’s mission is to provide high-quality, affordable education that meets the ever-changing needs of the state. In 2019, CSU faced declining funding and rising demand for education from a growing, diversifying population. Half of its incoming students came from underserved communities, and nearly one-third were the first in their families to attend college.
