About Us


The Division of Academic Affairs concentrates on faculty support while providing leadership and assistance to the 22 CSU universities. A high-quality educational experience for California's diverse student body taught and assisted by skilled faculty and staff is the division's aim.

Academic Affairs concurrently focuses on:

  • academic programs
  • research, scholarship and creative activities
  • educator preparation
  • professional and continuing education
  • academic technology
  • institutional research & analyses​

We work with the universities, other Chancellor's Office divisions, the Board of Trustees, other educational segments and state agencies to respond to the educational needs of our students and to challenges facing the CSU system and state.​

Departments

​The five departments that make up Academic Affairs at the CSU collaborate with our faculty and campus partners to nurture students in the achievement of their goals.
