EDUCATION CODE
SECTION 66042-66042.3



66042.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares both of the
following:
   (1) Since its adoption in 1960, the Master Plan for Higher
Education has served to create the largest and most distinguished
higher education system in the nation. A key component of the Master
Plan for Higher Education is the differentiation of mission and
function, whereby doctoral and identified professional programs are
limited to the University of California, with the provision that the
California State University can provide doctoral education in joint
doctoral programs with the University of California and independent
California colleges and universities. The differentiation of function
has allowed California to provide universal access to postsecondary
education while preserving quality.
   (2) Because of the need to prepare and educate increased numbers
of physical therapists, the State of California is granting the
California State University authority to offer the Doctor of Physical
Therapy degree as an exception to the differentiation of function in
graduate education that assigns sole authority among the California
higher education segments to the University of California for
awarding doctoral degrees independently. This exception to the Master
Plan for Higher Education recognizes the distinctive strengths and
respective missions of the California State University and the
University of California.
   (b) Pursuant to subdivision (a), and notwithstanding Section
66010.4, in order to meet specific physical therapy education needs
in California, the California State University may award the Doctor
of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) degree. The authority to award degrees
granted by this article is limited to the discipline of physical
therapy. The Doctor of Physical Therapy degree offered by the
California State University shall be distinguished from doctoral
degree programs at the University of California.



66042.1.  In implementing Section 66042, the California State
University shall comply with all of the following requirements:
   (a) Funding on a per full-time equivalent student (FTES) basis for
each new student in these degree programs shall be from within the
California State University's enrollment growth levels as agreed to
in the annual Budget Act. Enrollments in these programs shall not
alter the California State University's ratio of graduate instruction
to total enrollment, and shall not diminish enrollment growth in
university undergraduate programs. Funding provided from the state
for each FTES shall be at the agreed-upon marginal cost calculation
that the California State University receives.
   (b) The Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) degree offered by the
California State University shall be focused on preparing physical
therapists to provide health care services, and shall be consistent
with meeting the requirements of the Commission on Accreditation in
Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE).
   (c) Nothing in this article shall be construed to limit or
preclude the California Postsecondary Education Commission from
exercising its authority under Chapter 11 (commencing with Section
66900) to review, evaluate, and make recommendations relating to any
and all programs established under this article.
   (d) Each student in the programs authorized by this article shall
be charged fees no higher than the rate charged for students in
state-supported doctoral degree programs in physical therapy at the
University of California, including joint D.P.T. programs of the
California State University and the University of California.
   (e) The California State University shall provide any startup
funding needed for the programs authorized by this article from
within existing budgets for academic programs support, without
diminishing the quality of program support offered to California
State University undergraduate programs. Funding of these programs
shall not result in reduced undergraduate enrollments at the
California State University.


66042.3.  (a) The California State University, the Department of
Finance, and the Legislative Analyst's Office shall jointly conduct a
statewide evaluation of the new programs implemented under this
article. The results of the evaluation shall be reported, in writing,
to the Legislature and the Governor on or before January 1, 2015.
The evaluation required by this section shall consider all of the
following:
   (1) The number of new doctoral programs in physical therapy
implemented, including information identifying the number of new
programs, applicants, admissions, enrollments, and degree recipients.
   (2) The extent to which the programs established under this
article are fulfilling identified needs for physical therapists,
including statewide supply and demand data that considers capacity at
the University of California and in California's independent
colleges and universities.
   (3) Information on the place of employment of students and the
subsequent job placement of graduates.
   (4) Program costs and the fund sources that were used to finance
these programs, including a calculation of cost per degree awarded.
   (5) The costs of the programs to students, the amount of financial
aid offered, and student debt levels of graduates of the programs.
   (6) The extent to which the programs established under this
article are in compliance with the requirements of this article.
   (b) (1) A report to be submitted pursuant to subdivision (a) shall
be submitted in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code.
   (2) Pursuant to Section 10231.5 of the Government Code, this
section is repealed on January 1, 2019.
