Cal State L.A. Honored for High Student Enrollment

California State University, Los Angeles recently received a Commendation certificate by California Lieutenant Governor Cruz M. Bustamante for its top ranking in the June 17, 2002 issue of Los Angeles Business Journal (LABJ). LABJ ranked Cal State L.A. #13 among 25 colleges and universities in L.A. County with the greatest number of Full-time Equivalent students (2001-2002 enrollment period).

Full-time equivalents are measured by adding the number of full-time students to half the number of part-time students. In addition, because enrollment fluctuates between quarters and semesters, the number listed is an average for all the quarters and semesters of the institution’s school year.

The Governor commended Cal State L.A. for its enduring commitment to the State of California: “I admire your dedication to nurturing intellectual growth and welcome your continued efforts to enrich the lives of others. Your leadership sets a wonderful example for all Californians. Please accept my best wishes for your continued success.”
