I'm mainly just bumping this up in hopes of a current student seeing it and answering! I really haven't heard of much of anything that sounds like PBL there, but I am very curious to hear more (seeing as how I applied there, I really should know!).

Anyone?

ya, i'm also an applicant this year and hadn't heard about pbl there until yesterday when i was randomly browsing the faqs on their website and came across this:
What is Problem-based learning, and does CSU provide PBL opportunities?
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional modality in which small groups of students work through clinical, case-based "problems" with the aid of a faculty facilitator. The purpose of these exercises is to help students develop clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills, e.g. to "think like veterinary practitioners." In addition to PBL or PBL-like case discussions in individual courses throughout the curriculum, a PBL course is offered as an elective in the Spring of Sophomore year.

I'm wondering how many of those individual courses are PBL

I'm a 3rd year, and the sophomore elective PBL class is the only specifically-PBL class we have. However, there are lots of cases presented in lecture, and homework and tests are often case-based.
