Humboldt State University, now known as Cal Poly Humboldt, is not ranked in the top tier of global university rankings like QS or Times Higher Education. It is primarily recognized for its programs in natural resources, environmental science, and liberal arts.
According to U.S. News & World Report, it ranks #31 in Regional Universities West (2024 edition). Its focus on sustainability and hands-on learning attracts students, but it lacks broad international recognition. For specialized fields, particularly forestry and wildlife, it holds a stronger reputation.
