The primary function of the California State University is the provision of baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate education of undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-baccalaureate students through the doctoral degree in the liberal arts, sciences, applied fields and in the professions, including the teaching profession. All proposed CSU doctoral degrees will be reviewed by the University of California to verify that the proposed degree does not duplicate a UC doctoral degree program that is offered or is under review by the University of California. These professional or applied doctoral degrees may also be awarded jointly with a University of California university or private California institutions of higher education who are accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission. Presently established two-year programs in agriculture are authorized, but other two-year programs shall be authorized only when mutually agreed upon by the Board of Trustees of the California State University and the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Faculty research is authorized to the extent that it is consistent with the primary function of the California State University and the facilities provided for that function.
