6 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. Ten years later, the system became The California State University. The oldest campus — San Jose State University — was founded as a Normal School in 1857 and became the first institution of public higher education in California. California State University, Monterey Bay, became the CSU’s 21st campus in September 1994. The California Maritime Academy in Vallejo, founded in 1929, joined the CSU as its 22nd campus in July 1995. The CSU’s 23rd campus — California State University, Channel Islands — serves students in the Ventura County region. Responsibility for The California State University is vested in the Board of Trustees, consisting of ex officio mem-bers, alumni and faculty representatives, and members appointed by the Gover-nor. The Trustees appoint the Chancel-lor, 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 under-graduate 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 require-ments, 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 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, or by distance learning from home or work via com-puter or television. 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 fall 1998, the system enrolled 350,254 students, taught by more than 19,500 faculty. Last year the system awarded more than half of the bachelor’s degrees and 30 percent of the master’s degrees granted in California. More than 1.84 million persons have been graduated from the CSU campuses since 1960.
