California State University- East Bay

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

California State University, East Bay (informally referred to as Cal State East Bay, CSU East Bay and CSUEB) is a public, nonsectarian, coeducational university situated in the hills of Hayward, California, a city in the Eastern San Francisco Bay Area. The university, as part of the 23-campus California State University system, offers over 100 areas of study. California State University, East Bay is one of only a handful of universities in the California State University system to operate on the quarter system. The university has been designated as a "top–tier" institution among master's–granting universities in the Western United States by U.S. News & World Report.

Founded in 1957, California State University, East Bay has a student body of over 13,000. The university has a park-like campus with panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay and the surrounding San Francisco Bay Area. California State University, East Bay maintains two satellite campuses, a campus in Oakland, California, through the university's Oakland Professional Development and Conference Center, and a campus in Concord, California.

Formerly named California State University, Hayward, the university adopted a new, broader mission to serve the Eastern San Francisco Bay Area in 2005. To reflect the university's more widespread objective, the school changed its name to California State University, East Bay that same year.

History

The university was established in 1957 as State College for Alameda County, with its primary mission to serve the higher education needs of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Its construction was part of the California Master Plan for Higher Education as proposed by Clark Kerr and the original site for the school was Pleasanton, California. The campus was moved to Hayward before plans were finalized due to the efforts of Assemblymember Carlos Bee and other boosters from the Hayward community. At the time of its founding in 1957, classes were held on the campus of Hayward High School. With the addition of the school, higher education in the San Francisco Bay Area became more accessible. To the south was San Jose State College (now San Jose State University) serving the South Bay counties. To the west was San Francisco State College (now San Francisco State University) serving San Francisco and San Mateo Counties. Chabot College, a part of the California Community College system, opened nearby in Hayward in 1961.

Question: CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY HELP!!?

HEY i am a senior and i have a 2.44 accumulative GPA, i took the SAT's and got 380 on the english/reading and 300 on the math. Yes i know it's bad but im going to retake it on december. I am also missing courses right now and my counsler wouldn't let me take the classes i need for a CSU but im still going to try. The CSU that i REALLY want to go to is California State University East Bay. The following was from the admissions person at CSUEB.... The following A-G courses need to be passed with a C- or better: *Area A – History: 2 years (4 semesters) You will successfully complete this area if you complete Government/Econ in the 12th grade. *Area B – English: 4 years (8 semesters) You are lacking in this area. You need to pass English from the 9th-12th grade with a C- or better. Currently you only have a year and a half of completed this area. *Area C – Math: 3 years (6 semesters) You are lacking in this area. You completed Algebra 1(B), but you need to complete Geometry, and Algebra II. *Area D – Science: 2 years (4 semesters) You are lacking in this area. You need one year of Biological Science (Biology, Environmental Science, or Integrated Science) and one year of a Physical Science (Chemistry or Physics). *Area E – Language other than English: 2 years (4 semesters) You are lacking in this area. You need to completed 2 years of the same language. *Area F – Visual and Performing Arts: 1 year (2 semesters) You successfully completed this area with the Art class you took in the 11th grade. *Area G – Elective: 1 year (2 semesters) You successfully completed this area with the Psychology class you took in the 11th grade. SO IF SOMEBODY COULD HELP ME OUT AND ADVISE ME, AND ALSO WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF ME GETTING ACCEPTED INTO CSUEB OR SAN JOSE STATE?? PLEASE AND THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT. Thanks for all the advises but the thing is i still want to apply to CSUEB and a couple other CSU's because on the application it asks if you either passed, in proccess, or plan on taking the missing courses. So i plan on taking them in the summer. Also my counsler wouldn't let me take classes for CSU because i did not have "COLLEGE PREP" courses but i do.

Here is a FACT: You CANNOT take any of the courses you need in the summer, because you are a senior. Honestly you will not qualify, don't even apply...it'll be a waste of money. Best plan is to attend a community college for two years and transfer. Actually that's not only the best plan but that is your ONLY CHOICE. Sorry, but this is REALITY...welcome to the REAL WORLD.

I took some classes there as a non-degree student. My experience with the faculty was very positive. They were focused on educating the student and not one bit arrogant. This was on the opposite end of the spectrum to faculty at some larger research institutions as well as small liberal arts colleges. I found great satisfaction listening to someone whose objective was solely to relate the matter to me rather than mechanically repeat meaningless words as quickly as possible so s/he could go back to the research. I also found the faculty to be quite accessible during office hours. Because there were hardly any students taking advantage of that service, you could really engage faculty members in interesting conversations so that you could really nail down the subject matter. 80% of the students appeared either disinterested or wanted to portray that they were working hard to understand the subject matter where instead, they were not doing much work at all. I would recommend the school highly but transfer to a bigger name school before you graduate.

Question: Is there anyone who have transfered to Cal State University , East Bay on the major of Nursing?

I am majoring in Nursing and attending a college in oakland CA. Is there anyone plan to transfer to a University from a college? I want to know when I should apply for the university. Do I have to finish all the prerequisites before applying when my major is nursing? I am so worried 'cause I am so confused about my scedule. On one hand, I want to obtain good grades, on the other, I want to finish the classes as soon as possible. I want to hear some advices, experiences and information of the CSU East Bay in order to cease worrying. (I asked a counselor but she told me to meet with the rep from the University.) Before meeting the rep, I want to know what you think.

Yes you can transfer to CSU East Bay. You do not have to finish all requirements, however, some schools may not allow this and make you finish all the reqs first. So it is best if you ask the rep. Good Luck!
