THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
The individual California State Colleges were brought together as a system by the Donahoe Higher Education Act of 1960. In 1972, the system became The California State University and Colleges and, in 1982, The California State University. Today the campuses of the CSU include comprehensive and polytechnic universities and, since July 1995, the California Maritime Academy, a specialized campus.
The oldest campus, San José State University, was founded in 1857 and became the first institution of public higher education in California. The most recently opened campus (California State University, Monterey Bay) began admitting students in the Fall of 1995. A new site has been conveyed and a 23rd campus--California State University, Channel Islands--is being formally established in Ventura County.
Responsibility for The California State University is vested in the Board of Trustees, whose members are appointed by the Governor. The Trustees appoint the Chancellor, who is the chief executive officer of the system, and the Presidents, who are the chief executive officers of the respective campuses.
The Trustees, the Chancellor, and the Presidents develop systemwide policy, with actual implementation at the campus level taking place through broadly based consultative procedures. The Academic Senate of The California State University, made up of elected representatives of the faculty from each campus, recommends academic policy to the Board of Trustees through the Chancellor.
Academic excellence has been achieved by The California State University through a distinguished faculty, whose primary responsibility is superior teaching. While each campus in the system has its own unique geographic and curricular character, all campuses, as multipurpose institutions, offer undergraduate and graduate instruction for professional and occupational goals as well as a broad liberal education. All the campuses require a basic program of "General Education Requirements" for graduation, regardless of the type of bachelor's degree or major field selected by the student.
The CSU offers more than 1,600 bachelor's and master's degree programs in 240 subject areas. Many of these programs are offered so that students can complete all upper-division and graduate requirements by part-time, late afternoon, and evening study, or by distance learning from home or work via computer or television. In addition, a variety of teaching and school service credential programs is available. A limited number of doctoral degrees is offered jointly with the University of California and with private institutions in California.
Enrollment in Fall 1998 totaled 350,254 students, who were taught by over 19,500 faculty. The system awards more than half of the bachelor's degrees and 30 percent of the master's degrees granted in California. Some 1.84 million persons have been graduated from CSU campuses since 1960.
