CBU’s Lancers athletic program is gaining recognition as one of the best in the nation with numerous regional and national championship teams in a variety of sports, including men’s and women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s swimming, softball and baseball.
CBU in the region
CBU has established extension sites throughout Riverside and San Bernardino counties with more being planned in response to the growing demand for CBU’s distinctive faith-based, working-adult degree programs. School districts, law enforcement agencies, hospitals, churches and businesses seek out and hold CBU graduates in high regard for their unique combination of competence, confidence and compassion.
In addition to being involved in the local community through a variety of service projects and activities, California Baptist University also supports a wide range of highly active international programs. Included are educational partnerships with a number of universities in Europe and Asia. Further, the CBU International Service Projects program annually sends scores of student teams throughout the world to teach and participate in recreation, construction and infrastructure.
