President's Message Welcome to California State University, Hayward. This catalog was prepared to inform you about the University and its academic programs and is a reference to which you will refer continually.   A catalog, however comprehensive, cannot fully describe the experiences you will have here at Cal State Hayward and the University's commitment to its students. We are very proud of our mission of excellence in education for a diverse society, and believe that our students, faculty, and staff together form the team that lives that mission each and every day.   Our student body is international and diverse in age, ethnicity, and culture. It matches the diversity of our geographical service area. Our faculty are outstanding teachers and scholars.   Cal State Hayward is a quality university committed to student success. Excellence in teaching and a wide range of support services are the means through which we address that goal. We also believe that the University can learn from its students.   It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our beautiful campus and wish you every success as a Cal State Hayward student.       Norma S. Rees President
