Universities California State University Long Beach The Campus The hilltop portion on the 322-acre campus overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Eighty permanent buildings house the various colleges, 63 academic departments and programs, 24 centers, four institutes and four clinics. The student-operated University Student Union is located at the crossroads of the campus, providing a focal point for the total campus community. Brotman Hall, near the Union, houses many centralized campus services and administrative offices. There are also specialized facilities for Engineering Technology , Art , Industrial and Interior Design, Music , Molecular and Life Sciences, and Nursing as well as the International House student residence hall and meeting complex. A state‑of‑the‑art building for the College of Business Administration , complete with decision‑support laboratories, multi‑media capability, and modern lecture halls, opened in 1991. The Department of Dance occupies quarters in the largest and best‑equipped instructional dance facility in the nation. The striking beauty of the campus owes much to the planting of 3,200 Helen Borcher flowering peach trees that were donated by the citizens of Long Beach. Secluded landscape areas and buildings of appropriate scale help maintain a learning environment that encourages small group identification and personal privacy in the midst of 37,000 individuals sharing the same site, on what is essentially a large urban campus. In 1965, the International Sculpture Symposium contributed 9 monumental pieces and designs to the University. These works received credits in 21 national and international publications, and in 1972 additional community funds in the form of a trust provided for the completion of the Carlson Memorial Tower, designed by French sculptor Andre Bloc. The campus sculpture collection has continued to expand, with the addition of works by artists such as Guy Dill, Michael Davis, Robert Irwin, Bryan Hunt, and Woods Davy. These acquisitions were made possible by private donations and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to the University Art Museum . Academic Organization of the University During the regular session California State University, Long Beach is as large as a small city. More than 33,000 students, nearly 2,000 faculty and 1,600 professional staff members study and work on campus each week. In order to operate, the campus has been organized into eight colleges and many academic departments and programs. The elemental unit of academic organization at this University is the department. Departments are most often coincident with a discipline and usually share the same name. Faculty are members of departments. Thus the Department of Biological Sciences has many “programs,” including degrees in Biology and Microbiology, a minor in Biology, and a certificate in Biomedical Art. This Catalog also has information on academic areas, like Gerontology, which are not part of any one department. Some of these areas are called “Studies,” e.g., Women's Studies , Medieval and Renaissance Studies. This means that the field is essentially an interdisciplinary one and is the product of the activities of faculty from many departments. Normally these departments and sub‑divisions have committees to discuss curriculum and other matters. Since departments and programs are constituent parts of the colleges, they also send members to college‑level committees and councils. These bodies serve to develop, refine, and review curriculum. At the University level faculty members from all of the colleges are elected to several councils and to the Academic Senate. These bodies concern themselves with campus‑wide issues. Many of these councils, their subcommittees, and the Academic Senate have also provided for staff, student, and administration membership. For students who have just begun their life in the University, some of the departments will be unknown territory. Other departments and programs will turn out to be considerably different from first expectations or previous experiences with high school subjects of the same or similar names. For students who have begun to focus their academic interests, exploration of the departments and programs of a college beyond the favorite first contact area will often prove to be a valuable part of the process of choosing an academic major. University Library Mission The University Library at California State University, Long Beach was established to provide direct support for the educational mission of the university through selecting, organizing, preserving, and disseminating recorded knowledge in all its formats and manifestations. The organization also provides the human, print, and digital resources necessary for the campus community to locate, retrieve, and evaluate information effectively. The Library maintains collections that promote free inquiry and intellectual development, provides instruction in the information gathering and evaluation process, and thus has a lasting and beneficial impact on the lives of CSULB students.
