The last two decades have seen a remarkable growth in higher education in India and across the globe. The move towards inter-disciplinary studies and interactive learning have opened up several options as well as created multiple challenges. India is at a juncture where ahuge population of young crowd is opting for higher education.

A strong believer and practitioner of the dictum “Knowledge is Power”, California Public University (CPU) has been on the path of delivering quality education by developing the young human resources on the foundation of ethical and moral values, while boosting their leadership qualities, research culture and innovative skills.
