 When the Master Plan was first founded in 1960, post-secondary education enrollments were equally divided among 2-year and 4-year institutions.However, in 2010, due to a lack of funding, the framers of the Master Plan limited eligibility admission to UC and CSU.The cost-cutting move diverted a large number of students to 2-year institutions, which would still allow them to finish their lower division work and then transfer to a 4-year institution.
