This item proposes amending Title 5 Sections 40050 and 40100; adopting Sections 40511, 40512, 41020, 41021, 41022 and 41023; and repealing Sections 40050.1, 40050.2, 40050.3, 40050.4, 40050.5, 40511, 40512, 40513, 40514, 40515, 40516, 40517, 40518, 40519, 40519.1, 40519.2, 40519.3, 41020, 41021, 41022, 41023, 41024 and 40125 to give the California State University (CSU) broader authority to establish professional and applied doctoral programs, as per recent changes in legislation that amended the California Education Code to add Education Code Section 66046. These future applied and professional doctoral degrees will not duplicate the University of California’s (UC) doctoral degrees. These CSU advanced degrees will meet identified workforce and accreditation needs in key economic industries that are not addressed by UC doctoral programs in the State of California.
These changes to Title 5 will allow consolidation of systemwide doctoral degree policy that will include more detailed information on duplication criteria, in addition to updated materials for proposing and implementing new professional and applied doctoral programs.
