The University Art Museum is located on the campus of California State University, Long Beach, one of California's largest and most prestigious universities. It has played a significant role in achieving international recognition for the arts and artists in Southern California with a strong commitment to scholarly and artistic excellence. The UAM has earned a national reputation for its high-quality exhibitions, award-winning publications, and a pioneering museum studies program. The UAM was first accredited by the American Association of Museums in 1984, and thus ranks among the top ten percent of the nation's 7,000-plus museums. As early as 1986, the California Arts Council ranked the UAM among the top six arts institutions in the state, calling it "a model for university museums."
