Note that as of 2005-06-24, I am still working on this page. It may end up having a different format than the other state college lists due to the large number of colleges in California. --Cswrye 02:29, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

I've now finished the reorganization of this page to make it consistent with other state listings. However, because of the large number of colleges in California, I'm open to using a different type of organization. --Cswrye 06:00, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

I moved the Los Angeles Music Academy from the list of Federal Institutions to the list of private schools. I think the confusion is that the school is nationally accredited. However, as a private institution, it is naturally not a Federal Institution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:6000:670B:9A00:D8C2:FEA3:BB25:61EA (talk) 14:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

first question: what do the asterisks mean after names? eg Aliant International University. Is it picked up the bullet (which then should be replaced by an asterisk "one of multiple locations"? second question. Why the shift after California Lutheran University to bullets instead of the table? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 05:52, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should the closed institutions in the table of Private colleges and universities be moved to the Defunct institutions section? I am relatively new to Wikipedia editing, so if I've missed a published guideline on this, I would appreciate a link to it. Thanks, Lisalibrarian (talk) 21:41, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a corresponding nomination to the one at the Southern California list, and the same rationale I gave there applies: The statewide article can handle all the institutions without becoming WP:TOOBIG, so there is no need to split it off into separate substate articles. If the California article ever became a FL, it would have location information and a map added so that readers could seek out institutions in a given part of the state. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 06:32, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge we don't need two lists of colleges and universities in California, we only need one to list them. Catfurball (talk) 19:00, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
