Increased class offerings for Spring 2011

     

            

            CSULB students will see an increase in class offerings for the up incoming Spring 2011 semester.

The increase in additional classes is due to the additional $199 million in restored funding, that the California State University’s (CSU) were provided with. The funding given also, consisted with an additional $60.6 million for future enrollment growth.

       The combination of these funds will allow the CSU campuses to admit up to 30,000 additional students for the winter, spring, and fall 2011 terms.

            Students will be able to register for up to 18 units,   instead of the usual 16 units.

The Journalism Department will be benefiting by the increase in courses. Journalism students may now register for a new course, Advertising Principles & Development.

            Raul Reis, Chair of the Department of Journalism & Mass Communication, said, “We feel as faculty we should offer more classes to prepare our students for the workforce, ” he added,  “I talked to the Dean about adding the new class, he gave the department full support, and was excited about adding the new class.”
