students who have not demonstrated proficiency
in English and/or mathematics to begin
remediation prior to the term for which they have
been admitted.
• Students are not required to complete any
needed developmental work during Early Start,
only to have satisfactorily completed an Early

EARLY START
Other means by which a student can satisfy the

THE DOCTORATE OF
NURSING PRACTICE
DOCTORATE OF NURSING PRACTICE
The Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP) will
become the required credential for nurse practitioners
and advanced nursing practice by 2015.
Assembly Bill 867 (AB867) authorized the CSU to offer
the post-master’s as a DNP, a pilot program at three
locations selected by the Chancellor. This
independent CSU Doctor of Nursing Practice degree
(DNP) is a collaboration between Cal State L.A., CSU
Long Beach and CSU Fullerton. It will begin in 2012
at CSULA. CSU Fullerton will be the lead campus.
DOCTORATE OF NURSING PRACTICE
The proposed DNP program will consist of 5
semesters and 36 units. The three
campuses will offer both didactic and
clinical coursework in their advanced
nursing specialties.
The Substantive Change proposal is being
submitted to WASC.
SENATE BILL 1440
SENATE BILL 1440

2011-12 Budget
CSULA Budget Impacts 2011/12
• FTES Resident Target will be 16,350, which is approximately a 5.5% (850
FTES) increase from the 2010-11 Target.
• The campus not meeting a minimum of 98% of the 16,350 FTES resident
target will result in an additional budget reduction.
• Proposed budget includes $19.7 Million reduction, which is the campus
pro-rata share of the $500 Million CSU reduction .
• Unfunded mandatory costs (i.e., health care, energy, and new space)
estimated at $2.1 Million.
• No 2011-12 compensation increases.
• Assumes the 10% tuition rate increase approved by the BOT in November.
• The current budget allocation is subject to deeper cuts if the voters do not
approve tax extensions.
• Despite cuts intend to increase faculty development funding from $1,000
to $1,500 per full time tenured and tenure-track faculty.

CSU Budget Response
Key Message
• CSU continues its efforts to educate
legislators on the consequences of the
$500 Million cut already made and the
ramifications of deeper cuts. Recent
Republican budget proposal does not
include cuts beyond “best case” scenario.
CSU Budget Response
Key Concerns
• The proposed budget will not allow the CSU to serve all
qualified students, reducing access. Denying access to
10,000 students systemwide.
• The State is not taking adequate care of faculty and staff.
• Reducing access will impact industries and the State’s
economy given our role in preparing the State’s workforce.
• Long-term prospects of increasing college going rates of
underserved communities will be negatively impacted just
as we are making real progress.
• An all-cuts budget of $26 billion could result in double the
reductions at the CSU ($1 Billion).
