| History | | | | 1960 |
| Today's California State University system is the | | | | 346 |
| direct descendant of the California State Normal | | | | 8,846 |
| School (now San Jose State University), a normal | | | | 109,631,582 |
| school established by the California Legislature on | | | | NCAA Division II |
| May 2, 1862. The California State Normal School | | | | Toros |
| was itself derived from the City of San | | | | (CCAA) |
| Francisco's Minns Evening Normal School (founded | | | | Sonoma State University |
| in 1857) a normal school legislature dropped the | | | | Rohnert Park |
| word "California" from the name of the San Jose | | | | 1960 |
| and Los Angeles schools, renaming them "State | | | | 269 |
| Normal Schools." Later Chico (1887), San Diego | | | | 8,259 |
| (1897), and other schools became part of the | | | | 86,648,273 |
| State Normal School system. In 1919, the State | | | | NCAA Division II |
| Normal School at Los Angeles became the | | | | Seawolves |
| Southern Branch of the University of California | | | | (CCAA) |
| (now the University of California, Los Angeles). In | | | | California State University, San Bernardino |
| 1921, the State Normal Schools became the State | | | | San Bernardino |
| Teachers Colleges. By this time most of the | | | | 1965 |
| campuses started to become identified by their | | | | 441 |
| city names plus the word "state" (e.g., "San Jose | | | | 14,866 |
| State," "San Diego State," "San Francisco State"). | | | | 160,381,158 |
| In 1935, the State Teachers Colleges became the | | | | NCAA Division II |
| California State Colleges and were administered | | | | Coyotes |
| by the California State Department of Education | | | | (CCAA) |
| in Sacramento. The Donahoe Higher Education Act | | | | California State University, Bakersfield |
| of 1960 gave the system greater autonomy | | | | Bakersfield |
| from the State of California. | | | | 1965 |
| The postwar period brought a great expansion in | | | | 375 |
| the number of colleges in the system. Campuses | | | | 7,113 |
| in Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Long Beach | | | | 82,714,822 |
| were added between 1947 and 1949. Then seven | | | | NCAA Division I |
| more were authorized to be built between 1957 | | | | Roadrunners |
| and 1960. Six more campuses joined the system | | | | California State University, San Marcos |
| after the establishment of the Donohoe Higher | | | | San Marcos |
| Education Act in 1960 bringing the total number to | | | | 1988 |
| 23. | | | | 304 |
| In 1972 the system became The California State | | | | 7,449 |
| University and Colleges, and all of the campuses | | | | 91,218,742 |
| were renamed with the words "California State | | | | NAIA |
| University" in their names. Former San Diego | | | | Cougars |
| State University student body president Calvin | | | | California State University, Monterey Bay |
| Robinson wrote the bill, signed into law by Ronald | | | | Seaside (formerly Fort Ord) |
| Reagan, that allowed every California State | | | | 1994 |
| University the option to revert the schools back | | | | 1,387 |
| to their pre-1972 names: San Jose State, San | | | | 4,129 |
| Diego State, San Francisco State, etc. In 1982, | | | | 62,757,303 |
| the CSU system dropped the word "colleges" | | | | NCAA Division II |
| from its name. | | | | Otters |
| Today the campuses of the CSU include | | | | (CCAA) |

| Responsibility for the California State University is | | | | None |
| vested in the 25 member Board of Trustees, | | | | Dolphins |
| whose members are appointed by the Governor | | | | Gallery |
| of the State of California. There are 5 ex officio | | | | San Jose |
| Trustees; the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, | | | | Chico |
| Speaker of the Assembly, State Superintendent | | | | San Diego |
| of Public Instruction, and the CSU Chancellor. | | | | San Francisco |
| There are 4 special Trustees. The CSU Statewide | | | | San Luis Obispo |
| Alumni Council appoints an Alumni Trustee. The | | | | Fresno |
| Governor appoints a Faculty Trustee from | | | | Humboldt |
| nominees proposed by the Statewide Academic | | | | Pomona |
| Senate. The Governor appoints two Student | | | | Los Angeles |
| Trustees from nominees proposed by the | | | | Sacramento |
| California State Student Association. The Alumni | | | | Long Beach |
| and Faculty Trustees serve for two years. The | | | | East Bay |
| Student Trustees serve staggered two-year | | | | Fullerton |
| terms. The sixteen remaining Trustees are | | | | Northridge |
| appointed by the Governor, confirmed by the | | | | Stanislaus |
| State Senate, and serve for eight years. The | | | | Sonoma |
| Trustees appoint the Chancellor, who is the chief | | | | San Bernardino |

| Percentchange fromprevious year | | | | Differences between the CSU and UC systems |
| 1 | | | | Both university systems are California publicly |
| California Polytechnic State University | | | | funded higher education institutions. Despite having |
| San Luis Obispo | | | | fewer students, some individual UC campuses, as |
| $ 181,530 | | | | a result of their research emphasis and medical |
| $ 166,179 | | | | centers, have larger budgets than the entire CSU |
| $ 130,947 | | | | system. CSU's Chancellor, Dr Charles B Reed, |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-2.1000000-21 % | | | | pointed out when delivering his Pullias Lecture at |
| 2 | | | | USC, that California was big enough to afford two |
| San Diego State University | | | | world-class systems of public higher education, |
| San Diego | | | | one that supports research (UC) and one that |
| $ 99,853 | | | | supports teaching (CSU). However, student per |
| $ 115,090 | | | | capita spending is stretched far thinner at the |
| &0000000000000015.00000015 % | | | | CSU, and the lack of a research mission or |
| 3 | | | | independent doctoral programs under the |
| California State University, Fresno | | | | California Master Plan leads to a perceived lack of |
| Fresno | | | | prestige among some academics. For many of |
| $ 112,901 | | | | the CSU system's early formative years, the |
| $ 104,645 | | | | more powerful UC system was able to delay or |
| $ 91,426 | | | | prevent the CSU campuses from gaining the right |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-4.1000000-13 % | | | | to grant bachelor's degrees, then later master's |
| 4 | | | | degrees and now doctorates in most fields. Thus |
| California State University, Northridge | | | | while similar campuses in other states (e.g., |
| Northridge, Los Angeles | | | | Arizona State University) eventually grew from |
| $ 60,227 | | | | normal schools into research-oriented state |
| $ 55,379 | | | | universities, the UC system's powerful research |
| $ 48,920 | | | | university monopoly has successfully prevented |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-3.1000000-12 % | | | | the CSU from experiencing a similar development. |
| 5 | | | | Librarian Emeritus Kevin Starr has described the |
| San Francisco State University | | | | CSU as "in so many ways the Rodney Dangerfield |
| San Francisco | | | | of public higher education." |
| $ 51,202 | | | | According to the California Master Plan for Higher |
| $ 47,179 | | | | Education (1960), both university systems may |
| $ 43,731 | | | | confer Bachelors or Master's degrees as well as |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-8.1000000-7 % | | | | professional certifications, however only the |
| 6 | | | | University of California has the authority to issue |
| San Jose State University | | | | Ph.D degrees (Doctor of Philosophy) and |
| San Jose | | | | professional degrees in the fields of law, medicine, |
| $ 50,020 | | | | veterinary, and dentistry. As a result of recent |
| $ 50,108 | | | | legislation (SB 724), the California State University |
| $ 40,517 | | | | may now offer the Ed.D degree (also known as |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-20.1000000-19 % | | | | the Doctor of Education or "education doctorate |
| 7 | | | | degree") to its graduate students as well as |
| California State University, Long Beach | | | | certain types of professional doctorate degrees |
| Long Beach | | | | (for instance, audiology (Au.D), etc.). Additionally, |
| $ 36,072 | | | | the California State University (CSU) offers Ph.D |
| $ 36,616 | | | | degrees as a "joint degree" in combination with |
| $ 31,070 | | | | other institutions of higher education, including |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-6.1000000-15 % | | | | "joint degrees" with the University of California |
| 8 | | | | (UC) and accredited private universities. This is |
| California State University, Chico | | | | why, for instance, San Diego State can qualify as |
| Chico | | | | a "Research University with high research activity" |
| $ 35,741 | | | | (Carnegie Foundation link) by offering 16 doctoral |
| $ 34,656 | | | | degrees. |
| -3.0 % | | | | There are 23 CSU campuses and 10 UC |
| 9 | | | | campuses representing 414,000 and 191,000 |
| California State Polytechnic University, Pomona | | | | students respectively. The cost of CSU tuition is |
| Pomona | | | | approximately half that of UC. Thus, the CSU |
| $ 33,717 | | | | system has been referred to by former California |
| $ 33,201 | | | | State University authorities as "The People's |
| $ 27,636 | | | | University." |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-8.1000000-17 % | | | | CSU and UC use the terms "president" and |
| 10 | | | | "chancellor" internally in exactly opposite ways: At |
| Sonoma State University | | | | CSU, the campuses are headed by "presidents" |
| Rohnert Park | | | | who report to a systemwide "chancellor"; but at |
| $ 37,417 | | | | UC, they are headed by "chancellors" who report |
| $ 35,602 | | | | to a systemwide "president". |
| $ 26,037 | | | | CSU has traditionally been more accommodating |
| | | | to the older student than UC, by offering more |
| 11 | | | | degree programs in the evenings and, more |
| California State University, Sacramento | | | | recently, online. In addition, CSU schools, especially |
| Sacramento | | | | in more urban areas, have traditionally catered to |
| $ 19,155 | | | | the commuter, enrolling most of its students from |
| $ 21,412 | | | | the surrounding area. This has changed as CSU |
| $ 19,712 | | | | schools increase enrollment and some of the |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-9.1000000-8 % | | | | more prestigious urban campuses attract a wider |
| 12 | | | | demographic. |
| California State University, Fullerton | | | | Admission standards |
| Fullerton | | | | Historically the requirements for admission to the |
| $ 17,592 | | | | CSU have been less stringent than the UC |
| $ 20,022 | | | | system. The CSU attempts to accept applicants |
| $ 18,960 | | | | from the top one-third (1/3) of California high |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-6.1000000-5 % | | | | school graduates. In contrast, the UC attempts to |
| 13 | | | | accept the top one-eighth (1/8). In an effort to |
| Humboldt State University | | | | maintain a 60/40 ratio of upper division students |
| Arcata | | | | to lower division students and to encourage |
| $ 18,797 | | | | students to attend a California community college |
| $ 18,447 | | | | first, both university systems give priority to |
| $ 15,700 | | | | California community college transfer students. |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-6.1000000-15 % | | | | However, as of 2008 the following CSU |
| 14 | | | | campuses use higher standards than the basic |
| California State University, San Bernardino | | | | admission standards because of the number of |
| San Bernardino | | | | qualified students who apply to those campuses |

| 16 | | | | State, and Cal Poly SLO are impacted for both |
| California State University, Bakersfield | | | | new freshmen and for transfer students, while |
| Bakersfield | | | | CSU Fullerton, Cal Poly Pomona, and Sonoma |
| $ 16,460 | | | | State are impacted for new freshmen. Thus, |
| $ 16,415 | | | | these campuses have higher admission standards |
| $ 13,013 | | | | than the CSU minimum. In addition, some |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-2.1000000-21 % | | | | programs at other campuses are similarly |
| 17 | | | | impacted. Despite this, CSU undergraduate |
| California State University, San Marcos | | | | admissions are quantitatively based and generally |
| San Marcos | | | | do not include items such as personal statements, |
| $ 15,158 | | | | SAT Subject Test scores, letters of |
| $ 16,222 | | | | recommendation, or portfolios. In addition, there is |
| $ 12,992 | | | | geographic preference given to those residing |
| &-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-1.1000000-20 % | | | | within the commuting areas of the colleges. |

| Hayward | | | | The Maritime Academy uses a different |
| $ 9,762 | | | | admissions process from other CSU schools. |
| $ 9,179 | | | | Because of the nature of its programs, the |

| California State University, Stanislaus | | | | Campus naming conventions |
| Turlock | | | | The UC system follows a consistent style in the |
| $ 11,000 | | | | naming of campuses, using the words University |
| $ 11,084 | | | | of California followed by the name of its declared |
| $ 8,422 | | | | home city. Most CSU campuses follow a similar |
| | | | pattern, though several are named only for their |
| NR | | | | home city or county, such as San Francisco State |
| California State University Office of the Chancellor | | | | University, San Jose State University, San Diego |
| Long Beach | | | | State University, or Sonoma State University. A |
| $ 9,744 | | | | few of the colleges follow neither pattern, in |
| $ 9,210 | | | | particular the California Maritime Academy (Cal |
| $ 7,913 | | | | Maritime) and the California Polytechnic State |

| California State University, Monterey Bay | | | | California. Some critics, including Donald Gerth (a |
| Seaside | | | | former President of California State University, |
| $ 4,801 | | | | Sacramento), have claimed that the weak |
