Voluntary System of Accountability - California State University
"College Portrait" and "Public Good" Contributions

The California State University has committed to providing data on student learning, student engagement, and enrollment and graduation as part of a national initiative called the Voluntary System of Accountability.  Each of the 23 CSU campuses is developing a web-based page called the College Portrait that is designed to specifically communicate accountability data to the public.

In addition, the CSU is going beyond the VSA College Portrait and has developed its own unique "public good" contributions page. Included in this page is campus specific information on total degrees awarded, the contribution of CSU students to the workforce, the number of Pell Grant recipients, average net tuition to attend a CSU and fees paid per student, as well as the average loan debt for CSU bachelor's degree recipients. A copy of the CSU Systemwide Public Good page is also available.
