About Professor Kobayashi

I did my undergraduate work at U.C. Berkeley in philosophy and my graduate work at CSULB also in philosophy.

I feel that education is not necessarily about training for a specific job, it is about opening new doors and finding new paths in life. In college you have the opportunity to explore many different fields of study with experts in the field to guide you. The more paths you explore, the more possibilities you will have in life and the richer your life will be.
