5 Introduction Introduction Californians can earn college degrees or certificates or get jobrelated training at a variety of institutions both public and private, throughout the state. The variety of institutions, programs, degrees and other educational choices is wide. This Guide will help you identify options that suit your needs. Please keep in mind that inclusion of an institution in this Guide does not imply an endorsement of its courses, degrees or educational outcomes. Some important facts about going to college It is never too soon or too late to benefit from college or education beyond high school. Younger students and their families should start planning as soon as possible. Saving for college should start when a child is born, and building a good academic record becomes increasingly important as students enter middle and high school. Returning or adult students also need to look at every option. Here are some facts to consider: Entrance requirements and deadlines All institutions have application deadlines and many have very specific general entrance requirements, including completion of certain courses and tests. Some have residency requirements. Find out now what these requirements are for all schools under consideration. Check with counselors and the institutions you want to attend. This Guide lists addresses, phone numbers, and websites for institutions across the state. Higher Education costs and financial aid The cost of education beyond high school varies widely, depending on factors like the course of study, institution selected, and the educational objective. Saving to pay for college is important, but financial aid is available to many California students. Aid may come directly from the school or college, the state, or the federal government. Find out if you qualify for financial assistance. See a counselor. Ask for more information about aid from the institutions you are considering attending. More information is available in this Guide and from: California Student Aid Commission PO Box Rancho Cordova, CA Federal Student Aid Information Center (FAFSA) PO Box 84 Washington, DC studentaid.ed.gov/portalswebapp/ students/english/index.jsp Golden State ScholarShare SAV-4 EDU ( ) EdFund FFELP ( ) Academic support and outreach programs There are many programs that help students prepare for higher education. Ask your counselor or contact colleges about such programs in your community. More information and assistance is available online at: First choose Links from the menu at the top. Then select Information for Parents and Students, then College Preparation and Outreach from the list, and then click on the Get Links button for a list of web sites including: admissions/ Residency Requirements California s public colleges and universities distinguish between residents and nonresidents for tuition purposes. State residents historically have been charged fees but not tuition. Nonresident students, however, pay both fees and tuition. The California Community Colleges (CCC) and the California State University (CSU) apply rules set by State statute in determining students residency status for tuition purposes, while the University of California (UC) has developed a separate and stricter set of residency rules. It is important to remember that because changes may be made at any time, and there are exceptions to rules, you should always check with the campus you are considering. How To Get Facts About Your Residency A student s residence is determined at the campus level. Therefore, campus officials can give you the most accurate advice on residence issues. If you have specific questions about your residency status, please read the statements of resi- California Postsecondary Education Commission 5

6 Introduction dency requirements published in the catalog of the public institution you plan to attend or contact the official who has been designated to make residency determinations for that institution. For residency information at a community college campus, contact the Admissions Officer of the campus. For residency information at a state university, contact the campus Residence Clerk in the Admissions Office. For residency information at a university campus, contact the Residence Deputy or Residence Affairs Officer who is located in the campus Registrar s Office. Such individuals can give you more accurate advice and also provide more precise information than anyone else. Accreditation Accrediting agencies are private educational associations of regional or national scope that develop criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met. Institutions or programs that meet an agency s criteria are thereby accredited. Accreditation does not provide automatic acceptance by one institution of credit earned at another institution, nor does it give assurance of acceptance of graduates by employers. Acceptance of students or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer. For these reasons, besides ascertaining the accredited status of a school or program, students should take additional measures to determine, prior to enrollment, whether or not their educational goals will be met through attendance at a particular institution. These measures should include inquiries to institutions to which transfer might be desired or to prospective employers and, if possible, personal inspection of the institution at which enrollment is contemplated. To ensure a basic level of quality, accrediting associations of regional or national scope have adopted criteria reflecting the qualities of a sound educational program and have developed procedures for evaluating institutions or programs to determine whether or not they are operating at basic levels of quality. Types of accreditation The two basic types of educational accreditation are: 1) institutional, and 2) specialized or programmatic. Institutional accreditation applies to an entire institution, indicating that each of its parts is contributing to the achievement of the institution s objectives, although not necessarily all at the same level of quality. The various commissions of the regional accrediting associations, for example, perform institutional accreditation, as do many national accrediting agencies. Specialized or programmatic accreditation applies to programs, departments, or schools that are parts of an institution. Most of the specialized or programmatic accrediting agencies review units within an institution of higher education that is accredited by one of the regional accrediting commissions. However, certain accrediting agencies also accredit professional schools and other specialized or vocational institutions of higher education that are freestanding in their operations. Visit creditation.asp for additional information about accreditation. How to use the Guide to California Colleges and Universities This guide is divided into three parts designed for locating information about higher education in a number of ways. Part I --- In this section you can look up the name of the campus you are considering attending. All of California s degree-granting colleges and universities are described and listed in alphabetical order under the following six categories: 1. California Community Colleges open-access public institutions that offer two-year academic degrees, vocational training, and adult education. (Page 9) 2. The California State University public university campuses that award bachelor s, master s and education doctoral degrees, plus joint doctoral with other universities. (Page 13) 3. University of California public university campuses that offer bachelor s, master s and doctoral degrees. (Page 53) 4. Other Public Institutions Hastings College of the Law and the Naval Postgraduate School, public institutions that have their own governing body and are supported with funding appropriated by either the state or federal government. (Page 59) 5. Independent Colleges and Universities non-state-supported institutions that are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. (Page 61) 6.

(Page 97) NOTE: The BPPVE closed on June 30, 2007, due to the sunset clause in its establishing legislation. Until a new agency is authorized, no additions will be made to the current list. Part II This section contains specific programs such as Journalism or Computer Engineering. Institutions that offer each program are listed under that heading. Part III The last portion of this Guide is an index. Use this section to locate schools, programs, towns with campuses, military bases with off-campus centers, and virtually any other topic covered in this Guide. The institutions or their central offices provided most of the information for this Guide. Other data came from various accrediting agencies and other sources.

9 Part 1: California Community Colleges Governance and Administration California Community Colleges Many educational options are offered by the California Community Colleges, including academic and vocational training programs that lead to occupational certificates, Associate of Arts or Science degrees, and transfer programs. There are 109 community colleges and many off-campus centers that are administered by 71 districts located throughout the state. These campuses serve more than 2.5 million students every year. Community college campuses are designed and intended to be close to the state s primary residential centers and within easy driving distance for most students. A California resident may attend any community college campus in the state. Community college students can complete the first two years of a university education and, if they meet certain requirements, can transfer to the California State University, the University of California, or an independent institution to complete a four-year (bachelor) degree. The community colleges also offer remedial instruction in conjunction with local school districts, instruction in English as a second language, adult non-credit instruction, and support services to help students succeed at the postsecondary level. Admission, residency requirements By law, the California Community Colleges are required to admit any California resident who graduated from high school, and may admit those who have not graduated but are over 18 years of age and can benefit from the instruction offered. The community colleges may also admit any nonresident possessing a high school diploma or the equivalent. More information about residency requirements for fee and tuition purposes can be found in this Guide on page 5. Fees and cost of attendance As of the 2007 spring term, the fee for California residents will be $600 for a full-time student; non-residents will pay $4809.

If a student has below a 3.0 grade point average (GPA), the university determines eligigility by using a numerical index, consisting of standardized test scores and grades in the a-g courses. The university uses this model to ensure that access is offered to the top one-third of California high school graduates as designated in the state s Master Plan for Higher Education. To transfer from a community college to CUS, a student must have a GPA of 2.0 or higher in all transferable units and be in good standing at his or her last school. Other requirements may apply. Check with the admissions office at the campus you are planning to attend.

UC serves more than 208,000 students annually, offering broad undergraduate curricula leading to the baccalaureate degree at each general campus. It also awards master s, doctoral, and professional degrees. In addition to its role as a research institution, UC manages three U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories and five medical centers. Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco is affiliated with the UC system but is administered independently and has its own governing board. Admission requirements UC requires students to complete a specified number of academic courses in high school, called the a-g subjects. The university then uses a numerical index, consisting of standardized test scores and grades, to determine a student s eligibility for the UC system. The university uses this model to ensure that access is offered to the top 12.5 percent of California high school graduates as designated in the state s Master Plan for Higher Education. The Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC) program is an additional route to achieving eligibility for admission. It grants UC eligibility to the top 4.0 percent of students in each California high school, based on their grades in UC-required courses. UC makes this determination based on the evaluation of student transcripts forwarded to UC by individual high schools. Details about the ELC program are available at: Freshman students will meet the minimum requirement if they have a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher plus an adequate score on the ACT or SAT I and SAT II subject tests. Admission priority is given to California residents. Every qualified student who is a resident of California is entitled to admission at one of the University s campuses, although not necessarily at the campus of first choice.
