For the first time seven of the 23 Cal State University campuses are launching doctorate programs in education this year. CSU Chancellor Charles Reed called it an historic day. He says the classes are designed for professionals, who can take courses at night and on the weekends.

Reed : We're offering opportunities for public school leaders and community college leaders to be able to get a doctorate in education, become much better leaders and do it in a convenient and accessible way.

Reed says the program will prepare people to be principals, superintendents, curriculum and testing specialists. The CSU campuses launching programs include Fresno, Sacramento, Fullerton, Long Beach, San Bernardino, San Diego and San Francisco.
