Affiliations


CSU Stanislaus is part of the California State University, a 23-campus system across California. With more than 450,000 students, it is the largest, the most diverse, and one of the most affordable university systems in the country.

WUE tuition is considerably less than nonresident tuition.

History


The State Legislature established what was then known as Stanislaus State College in 1957. The first classes opened in September of 1960 on the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds. In 1965, the college moved to its permanent campus. It was awarded university status and renamed California State University, Stanislaus in 1985.

Residents of San Joaquin County gained access to public higher education when the University opened the Stockton Center on the campus of San Joaquin Delta College in 1974. In the fall of 1998, the Center, renamed CSU Stanislaus-Stockton Center, moved to its permanent site on Magnolia Avenue at University Park in downtown Stockton.

Academic Programs


The University offers over 100 majors, minors and areas of concentration; master’s degrees in 24 programs; an Executive MBA; a doctorate in education; credentials in teacher preparation and in professional areas; and more than 2,000 courses including pre-professional programs in law, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy, veterinary medicine, optometry, laboratory technology, and medical laboratory technology. Students are encouraged to take courses to give them a broad understanding of the liberal arts and sciences in their first two years so they can make an informed choice of specialization. See “Programs” link at the left for further information.

Widely recognized for its quality academic programs, the University has 12 nationally accredited programs and approximately 274 full-time faculty.

Outstanding Professor:  Dr. Andy Young

Andy Young, Professor of Philosophy, has been selected as the Outstanding Professor. Letters and IDEA rating from current and former students illustrate his excellence in teaching and the meaningful impact he makes on CSU Stanislaus students. He teaches a wide range of courses, including Philosophy 1010 (Introduction to Philosophy), Philosophy 4050 (Environmental Ethics), and Philosophy 4450 (Eastern Philosophy). Professor Young inspires his students to think critically and explore new concepts, and one student noted that he serves as “both a source of information and new ways of thinking.” Another student praised his patience and knowledge and wrote that “[Professor Young] relates philosophical concepts to real issues” Professor Young’s philosophy of education includes several commitments to student excellence, including imperatives to “make the material relevant…engage students in a process of self-reflection…improve their thinking, problem solving, reading, and writing skills…[and] encourage creativity’ while teaching the history and concepts of philosophy. He is well respected by his colleagues and their recommendation letters commend his excellence as a teacher-scholar and dedicated service to the University and local community. One colleague wrote that Professor Young’s “capacity to balance ongoing cultivation of [his] professional growth in directions significant to [him] while providing outstanding learning experiences for [his] students is highly commendable.” 

Outstanding Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity Professor:  Dr. Arnold Schmidt

Arnold Schmidt, Professor of English, has been selected as the Outstanding Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity Professor. Professor Schmidt is an exemplary scholar who has established his reputation as an international scholar on 19th Century British literature, as evidence by his broad range of publications and academic achievements. Perhaps most notable is his incorporation of his scholarly work into his teaching, and a former student wrote that Professor Schmidt “always involved the larger context of literary works and movements into the specific class readings” and “helped us engage with the work.” His lifelong commitment to scholarship serves as his foundation for teaching, and his colleagues deeply respect and admire his work. One colleague noted “how prolific and versatile Professor Schmidt has been as a researcher and a teacher,” and another colleague praised the “depth and originality of his scholarship and the execptional range of his intellectual and creative interests.”

Outstanding Community Service Professor:  Ms. Jessica Gomula-Kruzic

Jessica Gomula-Kruzic, Associate Professor of Art, has been selected as the Outstanding Community Service Professor. Professor Gomula-Kruzic’s enthusiasm and dedication to our students and local community is commendable. She has pursued and received multiple substantial grants, and one colleague wrote that she has “successfully won large grants to celebrate the community and to envision a better future for Modesto.” An example of Professor Gomula-Kruzic’s positive impact on the local community is the creation of th Building Imagination Center, an art video center funded by a nationally competitive $176,171 ArtPlace grant. The Building Imagination Center provides free events that celebrate art and architecture in Modesto and surrounding areas, and our community clearly appreciates Professor Gomula-Kruzic’s efforts, based on the response and participation to date. Her current scholarly project, the creation of a documentary about nationally significant architecture in Modesto, will further highlight and celebrate local history. Her community engagement and scholarly activities also inform her teaching, and students learn from her dynamic projects and real-world experiences.

Elizabeth Anne B. Papageorge Award:  Dr. Peggy Hauselt

Peggy Hauselt, Assistant Professor of Geography, has been selected as the recipient of the Elizabeth Anne B. Papageorge Faculty Development Award. By all accounts Professor Hauselt is an exemplary teacher-scholar. Students appreicate her considerable knowledge and her “hands-on” approach, which provides the students with opportunities to apply geographical concepts to a wide variety of real-world situations. She demonstrates a passion for teaching, pedagogical growth, and the integration of current technology into innovative courses. Excellent teaching is informed by ongoing research, and professor Hauselt incorporates her scholarly work into her courses, encourages student particpation in research, and demonstrates a strong commitment to the pursuit of grants and other external funds to support the Geography program. Students excel under her guidence, as evidenced by her IDEA evaluations and significant increase in student enrollment in the Geography program. Professor Hauselt is well respected by her colleagues, and nomination letters from colleagues lauded her as an innovator, teacher, student mentor and scholar. Student letters praised her for her incorporation of “real-world” experience and her guidence toward preparing students for a “career after college.” Not only does professor Hauselt serve the campus as an innovative teacher-scholar, but she also builds meaningful relationships with the CSU Stanislaus community, such as her organization of GIS Day and dedicated efforts to connect students with local intership opportunities.

These job placements are coordinated by University faculty. Up to eight hours of academic credit earned through Co-op courses may be applied to graduation requirements.

Co-op students thus have opportunities to gain practical experience which complements their academic study and permits them to explore actual career options before graduation. In these assignments co-op students earn competitive income and often are subsequently hired full-time by their employers. Placement of students in Cooperative Education appointments is the responsibility of the appropriate academic department through which the student registers for Cooperative Education credits.

Internships


Many academic departments at CSU Stanislaus offer internship opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students. Placements in a variety of private, non-profit, and public agencies are designed to encourage both pre-professional training and the integration of field and classroom experiences.

The Office of Service Learning, located in the Faculty Development Center, assists faculty and students with the development of service learning opportunities. A principal goal of service learning is the promotion of student learning through active participation in meaningful service directly related to course content. This means students spend various amounts of time in community organizations working with real people with real needs. The Office of Service Learning can recommend course options with a service component, volunteer sites as well as faculty and student resources available to encourage active learning both in the classroom and the community.
