About this School

California State University, Long Beach (also known as Long Beach State, Cal State Long Beach, CSULB, LBSU or The Beach) is the second largest campus of the California State University system and the third largest university in the state of California. It is located in Long Beach, California, at the southern coastal tip of Los Angeles County. It is ranked one of the top three public masters universities in the west by U.S. News and World Report's "America's Best Colleges Guide", for 2005 and 2006. It is also one of west coast's top universities-master's institutions in student body diversity and home to the largest publicly funded art school west of the Mississippi. The university operates with the lowest student tuition fees in the country, at US$1,768 per student. It was also ranked as the No. 3 best value public college in the nation by The Princeton Review. The campus is featured in the "Top 10 Best Value Public Colleges" list in the 2007 edition of its book America's Best Value Colleges, which was released on March 28, 2006. More than 30 factors were considered to rate the colleges in four categories: academics, tuition GPA (the sticker price minus average amount students receive in gift aid scholarships and grants), financial aid (how well colleges meet students' financial need) and student borrowing.

History

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, CSULB has grown to be one of the state's largest and most well respected universities. At its inception, the institution was known as Los Angeles-Orange County State College. It consisted of 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 320 acres for the use as a permanent campus by the college. The purchase price was nearly $1,000,000. By 1960, the student body had skyrocketed to more than 10,000 students, and by 1966, that number would be 20,000. In 1962, LBSC changed its name to California State College at Long Beach in an effort unify with the state system and enhance its prestige. In 1965, CSCLB hosted the first International Sculpture Symposium to be held in the United States and the first at a college or university. Six sculptors from around the world and two from the United States created many of the monumental sculptures seen today 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. 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 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 became CSULB. 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 which includes tuition, a book stipend, and housing. Since the program's inception more than 600 students have accepted the scholarship. As of Fall 2004, CSULB had approximately 34,566 students in attendance, making it the most populous campus of the CSU system and the second largest university in California.
