California State University, San Marcos.〕 15 master's degrees, an Ed.D. program, and 13 teaching credentials.〔http://degrees.calstate.edu/uploads/55/64/5564d4b6ec1584227ca2d1054c759f0f/Credential-Programs-08212012.pdf〕 The university has four colleges: the College of Business Administration; the College of Science and Mathematics; the College of Humanities, Arts, Behavioral and Social Sciences; and the College of Education, Health and Human Services.〔(Colleges & Programs ). California State University, San Marcos.〕 In Fall of 2013, the university had 615 faculty, of which 225 (or 36.5 percent) were tenured or on the tenure track.〔 ==History== Efforts by community and political leaders to bring a state university to North County date back to the 1960s. In 1969, the chancellor of the CSU system, Glenn S. Dumke issued a report concluding that there was "an ultimate need" for a new university campus in the area.〔(CSUSM Campus History ), California State University, San Marcos.〕 In 1978, State Senator William A. Craven (1921–1999) of Carlsbad won $250,000 in state funding for a North County satellite campus of San Diego State University, which opened at Lincoln Junior High School in Vista〔 with an enrollment of 148 students. In 1982, the satellite moved to larger quarters in an office building on Los Vallecitos Boulevard in San Marcos.〔 In September 1985, Senate Bill 1060, introduced by Craven, passed, appropriating $250,000 for a feasibility study on building a university in North County. By 1988, the enrollment of SDSU North County had reached 1,250 students, and the CSU board of trustees purchased for $10.6 million the future site of CSU San Marcos, the 304-acre Prohoroff Poultry Farm in San Marcos. The hillside site lies approximately due east of the Pacific Ocean and due north of downtown San Diego. Today the campus comprises . The CSU trustees also requested $51.8 million in state funds for the first phase of construction.〔 In 1989, Governor George Deukmejian signed Senate Bill 365 (also sponsored by Craven) into law, officially creating CSU San Marcos. Bill W. Stacy was named the university's first president in June 1989, and over the next year recruited the first 12 members of the faculty.〔 These dozen "founding faculty" played an important role in the university's early years and are today honored at Founders Plaza on the CSU campus. Stacy and the faculty were given $3.9 million to begin the university, which at first offered nine majors.〔 In February 23, 1990, ground was broken on the new campus, and construction began at the former chicken farm.〔(Carol Cox: The inspirational catalyst for Cal State San Marcos ), Spring/Summer 2010. Steps Magazine, CSU San Marcos.〕 In fall 1990, the first class enrolled at the new university: 448 juniors and seniors. (Initially, only upperclassmen – were admitted to CSU San Marcos). While construction continued on the permanent campus, classes continued to be held at the former SDSU satellite location on Los Vallecitos Boulevard. An industrial facility on Stone Drive was also used to provide lab space for the Biology program, and was used through January, 1993. In 1991, the university conferred its first degrees, as seven students were awarded Bachelor of Arts degrees. CSU San Marcos' first official commencement ceremony was held in May 1992.〔 In fall 1992, the permanent CSUSM campus at Twin Oaks Valley Road opened. The first buildings were Craven Hall (opened December 1992), Academic Hall, Science Hall I, and the University Commons.〔 The university had grown to 1,700 students and 305 faculty and staff.〔 The university continued to grow rapidly, and by 1993 CSU San Marcos' enrollment had grown to almost 2,500 and it received accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The university then offered 17 bachelor's degrees, nine teacher credentials, and six master's degrees.〔 In 1995, CSU San Marcos admitted its first freshman class and offered lower-division courses for the first time, with enrollment growing to 3,600. The same year, the College of Education was fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.〔 In 1996, CSU San Marcos received two major gifts: $1 million from Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II, the first of a series of gifts for the Kellogg Library, and a $1.3 million bequest from Lucille Griset Spicer (present by Spicer's siblings Richard H. Griset Sr. and Margaret Griset Liermann) to begin a student loan fund.〔 In early 1997, Stacy departed as university president, and Alexander Gonzalez was named interim president. In 1998, the CSU Board of Trustees made Gonzalez permanent president. By 1997, enrollment had grown to 4,400, the faculty had grown to 300 (including part-time instructors), and the university offered 19 bachelor's degrees, 15 teacher credentials, and eight master's degrees.〔 The university also received additional major donations, including a $2.3 million gift from Leonard Evers to establish the Evers Computer Scholarship and a donation from Bob and Ruth Mangrum to build the Mangrum Track & Soccer Field.〔 The university intercollegiate athletics department opened in 1998, and initially consisted of men's and women's golf, cross-country, and track and field.〔 A campus "building boom" began, with the Foundation Classroom Buildings opening in December 1996, University Hall in 1998, Science Hall II and the Arts Building in August 2002, and the University Village Apartments and the nearby M. Gordon Clarke Field House / University Student Union in 2003.〔 The University Village Apartments were the university's first on-campus housing; the new student union, known as "the Clarke," was funded by $1.2 million gift pledged in 1998 by Helene Clarke in honor of her husband.〔 In January 2004, the campus' first freestanding library, the five-story, nearly Kellogg Library, opened.〔 The same year, Karen S. Haynes was named the university's third president, following Gonzalez's departure the year previously, and the university announced that it planned to establish a nursing school. In fall 2004, over 7,000 students enrolled.〔 In 2006, the College of Business Administration's Markstein Hall opened, funded by a 2003 state grant of almost $25 million and a 2005 pledge of $5 million from Kenneth and Carole Markstein.〔 The School of Nursing opened in fall 2006.〔 The university added baseball, softball, and men's and women's soccer teams the same year.〔 A Sprinter (light rail) station and the university's first parking garage, the six-floor, 1,605-space Parking Structure I, opened in 2010. The Sprinter connects the campus to the major cities of north San Diego County, including Oceanside, Vista and Escondido. In May 2011, the 106,509 gross square foot Social and Behavioral Sciences Building at the north end of the campus opened.〔(Social and Behavior Sciences Building ).〕 For the 2011–2012 academic year, tuition and fees rose to $6,596, a 31% increase attributed to the state's budget crisis; it was the largest such percentage increase in the United States. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California State University San Marcos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
