6 2008-2009 California State University, Fresno General Catalog
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 Califor-nia
State University and Colleges, and in
1982 the system became 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 new-est
— CSU Channel Islands — opened
in fall 2002, with freshmen arriving in
fall 2003.
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 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 broad liberal
education. All the campuses require for
graduation a basic program of “General
Education requirements” regardless of the
type of bachelor’s degree or major field
selected by the student.
The CSU offers more than 1,800
bachelor’s and master’s degree programs
in some 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. In addition, a variety
of teaching and school service credential
programs are available. A limited number
of doctoral degrees are offered jointly
with the University of California and
with private institutions in California.
In 2005, the CSU was authorized to
independently offer educational doctor-ate
(Ed.D.) programs, and seven CSU
campuses launched their Ed.D. programs
in fall 2007.
Enrollments in fall 2005 totaled 417,000
students, who were taught by some
23,000 faculty. The system awards about
half of the bachelor’s degrees and a
third of the master’s degrees granted in
California. Nearly 2.5 million persons
have been graduated from CSU campuses
since 1961.
