01 - INSTRUCTION

The California State University (CSU) Instruction program educates students for attainment of degrees, credentials or certificates in the liberal arts and sciences, and certain applied fields and professions. CSU graduates ten percent of the California workforce, and prepares an estimated ten percent of the nation's teachers and seven percent of the nation's engineers. The University prepares about 60 percent of California's teachers. CSU offers more than 1,800 bachelor's and master's degree programs in over 240 subject areas. Many programs are offered so students can complete all upper division and graduate requirements by part-time late afternoon and evening study. CSU also offers a doctorate degree in Education, as well as a limited number of doctoral degrees jointly with the University of California and with private California institutions.

In conjunction with campus-based instruction, CSU provides instruction through seven off-campus centers, and through self-supporting extended education programs.

The Instruction program consists of general academic instruction, preparatory/remedial instruction, instructional information technology, community education instructional services, and non-baccalaureate vocational/technical instruction.
