The Promise to Students

The Promise to Students

The Promise to Students• UC is designated the State's primary academic research institution and is to

provide undergraduate, graduate and professional education. UC is given exclusive jurisdiction in public higher education for doctoral degrees and for instruction in law, medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine.

• CSU's primary mission is undergraduate education and graduate education through the master's degree including professional and teacher education. Faculty research is authorized consistent with the primary function of instruction.

• The California Community Colleges have as their primary mission providing academic and vocational instruction for older and younger students through the first two years of undergraduate education (lower division)

The Promise to Students

• UC was to select from among the top one-eighth (12.5%) of the high school graduating class.– 10 UC Campuses

• CSU was to select from among the top one-third (33.3%) of the high school graduating class.– 23 CSU Campuses

• California Community Colleges were to admit any student capable of benefiting from instruction.
