WELCOME TO ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

Academic Affairs, the largest unit in the University, provides instructional programs for matriculated students through its six schools: Arts and Humanities, Business and Economics, Education, Extended Education, Science and Technology, and Social Sciences. Students can choose from among 41 Undergraduate Programs leading to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), or Bachelor of Science (B.S.). Students who are completing or have already completed a bachelor’s degree can apply for admission to one of 14 Graduate Programs leading to a Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.), or a Master of Science (M.S.). We offer nine K – 12 teaching credential preparation programs through the School of Education as well as a joint doctoral program in Educational Leadership. Several of the Schools offer a variety of certificate programs as well.

• Degree Programs Offered

Nonmatriculated students may enroll in credit or noncredit programs through the School of Extended Education, and complete professional development courses or certificate programs. Also, nonmatriculated students may enroll in regularly offered University credit courses on a space available basis, through Open University.

The University Library in the Schulz Information Center is a hub of campus life where information and community converge.  The Library provides extensive information resources in all formats to support the university curriculum while also offering a technology-rich, comfortable space to think, learn, research and explore ideas.

Academic Affairs is comprised of the following areas: Academic Programs (Undergraduate and Graduate Studies), Academic Resources, Institutional Research, Faculty Affairs, and the Schools and Departments. Support services include: the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, the California Institute on Human Services, the Writing Center, the Center for Teaching and Professional Development, the Center for Community Engagement, the University Library, the School of Extended Education, and the Green Music Center.
