In 1972 the system became The California TheThe State University and Colleges and in 1982 the system be- came The California State University. The oldest campus, San Jose State University, was founded as a normal school in 1857 and became the first CalifCaliforniaornia institution of public higher education in California. Califor- nia State University, Monterey Bay, became the CSU's 21st campus in September 1994. The California Maritime Acad- StateState emy 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, is in the planning stage to serve students in the Ventura County region. UniverUniversitysity Responsibility for The California State University is vested in the Board of Trustees, consisting of ex officio members, alumni and faculty representatives, and members appointed by the governor. 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 re- spective campuses. The trustees, the chancellor and the presidents develop systemwide policy, with actual implementation at the cam- pus 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 Califor- nia 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 institu- tions, offer undergraduate and graduate instruction for pro- fessional and occupational goals as well as broad liberal education. All of the campuses require for graduation a basic program of "general education requirements" regard- less of the type of bachelor's degree or major field selected by the student. The CSU offers more than 1,500 bachelor's and master's degree programs in some 200 subject areas. Many of these programs are offered so that students can complete all up- per-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 are available. A limited number of doctoral degrees are offered jointly with the University of California and with private institutions in California. In fall 1996, the system enrolled approximately 336,000 students, taught by more than 17,000 faculty. Last year the system awarded more than 50 percent of the bachelor's degrees and 30 percent of the master's degrees granted in California. More than 1.2 million persons have been gradu- ated from the 22 campuses since 1960. 8 / CSU Trustees of the Office of the Chancellor of California State University The California State University 400 Golden Shore, Long Beach, CA 90802-4275 EX OFFICIO TRUSTEES (562) 985-2500 The Honorable Pete Wilson Governor of California Dr.
