Cal State Fullerton was established in 1957 as Orange County State College with an inaugural class of 452 students who began classes in September 1959. The institution grew rapidly to become the largest campus in the CSU system, enrolling more than 43,000 students today across its 236-acre campus on land that once held citrus groves. The university offers 109 degree programs including 55 undergraduate degrees and 54 graduate programs, with designated status as a Hispanic-Serving Institution and an Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution.

The campus serves the Orange County region and beyond through nine colleges including Arts, Business and Economics, Communications, Education, Engineering and Computer Science, and Health and Human Development. Notable facilities include the Pollak Library, a 26-acre Arboretum and Botanical Garden, and the Grand Central Art Center. The Titans athletic program competes in NCAA Division I in the Big West Conference, with championship teams in multiple sports.
