Among the other assets identified werea first-year student retention rate of 74 percent, high collegeentrance test scores, an applications acceptance rate of 74percent and comparatively high graduation rates.

Academic Calendar / 5Academic CalendarThe 4-1-4 at CSU StanislausWinter Term is tangibleevidence of CSU Stanislaus’commitment to intellectualinquiry and creativepedagogy.California State University, Stanislaus was the first public,four-year institution of higher learning in California to adopt a4-1-4 academic calendar. The program, now beginning its twentyninth year, has been well received by students and faculty.Under 4-1-4 the academic year consists of two 13-weeksemesters and a month-long winter term beginning in January.Fall semester ends before the holiday break and spring semesterfinishes in late May. A typical student load is four courses in thefall, one course during winter term, and four courses in thespring—hence “four-one-four.”Although in the course of an academic year the 4-1-4calendar is exactly equivalent to traditional semester or quarterprograms in terms of instructional weeks (30), credit units earned,teaching loads, and registration fees, the structure of the 4-1-4year provides greater opportunities for an innovative and challenging curriculum.The unique dimension of 4-1-4 is the month-long winter termin which both students and faculty concentrate on one course orproject. Winter term is tangible evidence of the University’scommitment to intellectual inquiry and creative pedagogy. Tostimulate academic innovation and encourage students to explore unfamiliar disciplines, many winter term courses and projectsare graded on a Credit/No Credit basis. Winter term courses, asan integral part of the 4-1-4 calendar, are required for graduation.During winter term, both teacher and student have an unusual chance for intensive, uninterrupted pursuit of a singlesubject. This concentration of time, resources, and energy in itselfconstitutes a new intellectual experience for most undergraduates. Furthermore, CSU Stanislaus winter term policy facilitatesinterdisciplinary teaching and learning, invites off-campus fieldwork and research, allows students to propose courses or projects,and provides foreign travel/study courses.
