Information for Postbaccalaureate Students

Thank you for your interest in Post-baccalaureate study at California State University, Long Beach.   Effective Fall 2008, CSULB is accepting applications for a second B.A./B.S. only  from  highly qualified applicants to  the Direct Entry BSN/ MSN program and for engineering majors. Therefore, admission for a second Bachelors degree in the natural sciences, including prerequisites for medical school, is closed until further notice.

If you wish to take a few courses but do not want to pursue a second degree as a CSULB student, you may enroll in courses through University College & Extension Services, which allows non-matriculated students to enroll in courses with the permission of the instructor through “Open University”.  Extension services also offer summer school sessions for CSULB.  For information on summer sessions or Open University, go to: http://www.uces.csulb.edu/OpenUniversity/Home/Home.aspx
