It also ranked #29 in the list of "50 Best Value Colleges and Universities in California 2015." Cal State Dominguez Hills is not an impacted campus; this is the designation for CSU campuses which are oversubscribed and have elevated admission standards either for the whole campus or for certain majors. ==History== The foundation for CSU Dominguez Hills was built in 1960 when then Governor of California Pat Brown provided state funds to begin development of the school. It was to be located in Palos Verdes, California, and known as South Bay State College. The tentative name was changed to California State College at Palos Verdes in 1962. In 1964, architect A. Quincy Jones successfully designed a master plan for construction. As the college had not yet been constructed, the first classes began to be taught in 1965 at the California Federal Savings Bank in Palos Verdes Peninsula, California. The college began with an enrollment of 27 freshmen and 14 juniors. In 1965 the designated location for the campus was moved to an area known as Dominguez Hills in Carson. The campus sits on the historic Rancho San Pedro, the oldest land grant in the Los Angeles area. The land was in the continuous possession of the Dominguez family through seven generations—from its concession to Juan Jose Dominguez in 1784 to its acquisition by the people of the state of California for the university. John Muns, president of the Dominguez Hills Homeowners Association in 1965, recognized that for a community to be selected as the site for a state college was a mark of status and prestige. He quickly headed up the campaign in support of Dominguez Hills, which at the time was still unincorporated ranch and farming land in the soon-to-be city of Carson. The year 1968 found the student body of CSUDH exceeding 1,000 for the first time. In adjunct to this event, the campus needed a vice-president. The vacancy was filled by one Lyle Gibson of which the distinguished Lyle E. Gibson Dominguez Hills Distinguished Teacher Award is named. The university was established, in large part, as a response to the African American outcry for higher education standard and opportunities. Additionally, from the months of October to November in 1969, demonstrations regarding the Vietnam War were held on the campus. In 1977 the California Postsecondary Education Commission endorsed the college trustees’ desire to change the name of the school from California State College, Dominguez Hills to California State University, Dominguez Hills. 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, Dominguez Hills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
