The public university has a more than 80% acceptance rate and is almost 90% students of color.
When Karen Bass and Rex Richardson are sworn in as the mayors of Los Angeles and Long Beach, respectively, Cal State Dominguez Hills, near Carson, will have something particularly special to boast about:Bass will soon make history as the first female mayor of America’s second-largest city and Richardson will pave the way as Long Beach’s first Black mayor.

CSUDH, the mayor-elect added, “should be highlighted and lifted up as a national standard on quality community-based higher education.” A key benefit of Dominguez Hill’s access-focused admission policy is that it produces leaders from within their own communities, Parham said.
