Located five miles east of downtown Los Angeles, the green hilltop
campus has a suburban feel, yet serves one of the most diverse urban
populations in the world. Cal State L.A. (http://www.calstatela.edu)
is an especially good site for advanced training in environmental
science. The University has made conscious and consistent efforts
to hire talented faculty in this area, to recruit underrepresented
students, to support team research that involves undergraduates as
well as graduate students, to improve its facilities and to reconfigure
its curriculum. More than two dozen four-year colleges and universities
are within a 30 mile radius of campus, and numerous federal, state
and private environmental research laboratories operate in the region.
Mountain forests, chaparral, deserts, grasslands, and coastal habitats
surround the metropolitan area, providing for an urban-wildlands interface
as diverse as the people inhabiting it.
