THE CALIFORNIA STATE COLLEGES
The 19 campuses of the California State Colleges, from Humboldt County in the
north to San Diego in the south, comprise the largest system of public higher
education in the Western Hemisphere and one of the largest in the world.
Current enrollment exceeds 227,000 full- and part-time students who are served
by a faculty numbering approximately 13,000.
Although San Jose State College, the oldest, was founded over a century ago,
the California State Colleges were not drawn together as a system under an independent
Board of Trustees until after passage of the Donahoe Higher Education
Act by the Legislature in 1960.
Responsibility for the California State Colleges is vested in the Board of Trustees,
whose members are appointed by the Governor. The Chancellor is the administrative
officer of the Trustees. Together, the Trustees and the Chancellor set
broad policy, while delegating responsibility for implementation to the colleges.
The Academic Senate of the California State Colleges, consisting of elected
representatives of the faculty at each college, recommends academic policy to the
Board of Trustees through the Chancellor.
Each college in the system has its own geographic and curricular character, but
ali emphasize the liberal arts and sciences. Programs leading to the bachelor's and
master's degrees, as well as a limited number of joint doctorates, are master planned
to anticipate and accommodate student interest and the educational and professional
needs of the State of California. The primary responsibility of the faculty
is the instructional process, with increasing recognition of the importance of the
role of research as a necessary concomitant to high quality teaching.
The California State Colleges are now in the dynamic period of their development.
Prior to World War II, there were seven State Colleges with a peak total
enroliment of some 13,000. Since 1947 twelve new colleges have been established,
and sites have been selected for new colleges in Ventura, San Mateo, and Contra
Costa Counties. California State College, Bakersfield, will open its doors to students
for the first time this year. Enrollment in the system is expected to reach 400,000
by 1980.
