California State University, Long Beach (also known as Long Beach State, Cal State Long Beach, LBSU, or The Beach) is the third largest〔http://www.calstate.edu/as/stat_reports/2013-2014/f13_01.htm〕 campus of the 23 school California State University system (CSU)〔 and one of the largest universities in the state of California by enrollment, its student body numbering 36,822〔 for the Fall 2014 semester. As of Fall 2014, the school had 2,283 total faculty, with 36.7 percent of those faculty on the tenure track.〔https://web.csulb.edu/divisions/students/presidents_scholars/campus_facts.htm〕 With 5,286 grad students, the university enrolls one of the largest graduate student populations across the CSU and in the state of California alone. The university is located in the Los Altos neighborhood of Long Beach at the southeastern coastal tip of Los Angeles County, less than one mile from the border with Orange County. The university offers 137 different Bachelor's degrees, 92 types of Master's degrees, 5 Doctoral degrees including two Doctor of Education, a Ph.D in Engineering, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Doctor of Nursing Practice, as well as 29 different teaching credentials.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=California State University Credential Programs : 2014-2014 )〕 Long Beach State is one of the West Coast's top universities in student body racial diversity, being named the 5th most diverse university in the West by U.S. News & World Report. It is also home to the largest publicly funded art school west of the Mississippi. The university currently operates with one of the lowest student fees in the country at US$6,738 per year for full-time students having California residence. As a result, CSULB has been recognized repeatedly as one of "America's Best Value Colleges" by the ''Princeton Review''. ==History== The College was established in 1949 by California Governor Earl Warren, to serve the rapidly expanding post-World War II population of Orange and Southern Los Angeles counties. Since then, CSULB has grown to become one of the state's largest universities. The institution was first named as Los Angeles-Orange County State College. Peter Victor Peterson was its first president.〔California Department of Education, p. 153.〕 It offered 25 courses, taught by 13 faculty members, in two apartment buildings at 5381 Anaheim Road in Long Beach. In June 1950, the citizens of Long Beach voted overwhelmingly to purchase as a permanent campus for the college, then known as Long Beach State College. The purchase price was nearly $1,000,000. Student enrollment grew rapidly in this new, permanent location. Carl W. McIntosh was named the college's second president in 1959.〔("Carl McIntosh Dies at 94." ''Los Angeles Times.'' January 22, 2009. ) Accessed 2013-08-14.〕 While McIntosh was president, the school grew tremendously. Enrollment surged from about 10,000 to more than 30,000,〔(Vega, Frances. "Former CSULB President Dies at Age 94." ''Daily 49er.'' January 26, 2009. ) Accessed 2013-08-13.〕 and he rapidly expanded and revamped the curriculum.〔 McIntosh tripled the number of faculty and constructed 30 new buildings.〔 Although the 1960s were a period of deep unrest on American college campuses, McIntosh's collegial governing style, gentle and quite demeanor, and willingness to permit protest on campus (so long as it remained quiet and peaceful) helped keep Long Beach State College relatively quiet throughout the period.〔(Butler, Kevin. "Carl McIntosh, 94, Was Former Cal State Long Beach President." ''Long Beach Press-Telegram.'' May 19, 2013. ) Accessed 2013-08-14.〕 In 1964, LBSC changed its name to California State College at Long Beach. In 1967, the California state legislature revamped the state college system. It changed its name in 1968 to California State College, Long Beach, as part of these changes and began to be much more closely integrated into the California State College system.〔''Teacher Education Programs in the United States: A Guide'', p. 36.〕 In 1965, CSCLB hosted the first International Sculpture Symposium to be held in the United States and the first such symposium to be held at a college or university. Six sculptors from abroad and two from the United States created many of the monumental sculptures present on the campus. The event received national media attention from newspapers around the country, including the ''New York Times'', ''Los Angeles Times Magazine'', ''Art in America'' and a six-page color spread in ''Fortune Magazine''. McIntosh departed for Montana State University in 1969, and was succeeded by President Steve Horn. The school acquired university status in 1972, along with 12 other state college campuses. The promotion was decided by the Board of Trustees of the California State University (CSU) system, according to total enrollment, size of graduate programs, complexity and diversity of majors and number of doctorates held by faculty at each college. CSCLB thus became (''CSULB) ''California State University, Long Beach. Also in 1972, the campus became the home of the largest library facility in the then 19-campus CSU system: a modern six-story building with a seating capacity of nearly 4,000 students. In 1995, President Robert Maxson initiated the privately funded President's Scholars Program, providing selected qualified California high school valedictorians and National Merit finalists and semi-finalists with a full four-year scholarship package, including tuition, a book stipend, and housing. , over 1000 students have accepted the scholarship. For applicants for Fall 2010, National Achievement Program Semifinalists/Finalists and National Hispanic Recognition scholars were also considered.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Application Process, President's Scholars Program, CSULB )〕 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, Long Beach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
