Undergraduate

Undergraduate students interested in obtaining an Administration degree must first be admitted to CSUSB. A separate application for the College of Business and Public Administration is not required.

Freshman Applicants
Generally, first-time freshmen applicants will qualify for regular admission if they:

1. Have graduated from high school, have earned a Certificate of General Education Development (GED) or have passed the California High School Proficiency Examination.

2. Have a minimum eligibility index. The eligibility index is the combination of the high school grade point average and scores on either the ACT or the SAT.

3. Have completed each of the courses in the comprehensive pattern of college preparatory subject requirements with grades of “C” or better. Courses must be completed prior to the first enrollment in the California State University.

CSUSB may offer first-time freshmen early, provisional admission based on their academic preparation through the junior year of high school and planned for the senior year. Students are required to submit an official transcript after graduation to certify that all coursework has been satisfactorily completed. Official transcripts must be received prior to the deadline set by the university. CSUSB may rescind admission decisions, cancel financial aid awards, and cancel registration for students who are found ineligible after the final transcript has been evaluated.

Transfer Applicants
Lower Division Transfer Applicants
Students who have completed fewer than 90 transferable quarter college units (fewer than 60 semester units) are considered lower division transfer students. Generally, applicants will qualify for admission as a lower division transfer student if they have a grade point average of at least 2.0 “C”, 2.4 for a non-California resident, or better in all transferable units attempted, are in good standing at the last college or university attended, and meet any of the following standards:

1. Will meet the freshman admission requirements (GPA and subject requirements) for the term to which they are applying; or

2. Were eligible as a freshman at the time of high school graduation except for subject requirements, have been in continuous attendance in an accredited college since high school graduation, and have made up the missing subjects.

Upper Division Transfer Applicants
Those who have completed 90 or more transferable quarter college units (60 or more semester units) are considered upper division transfer students.

Applicants will qualify for admission as an upper division transfer student if:

1. They have a grade point average of 2.0 “C”, 2.4 for a non-California resident, or better in all transferable units attempted.

2. They are in good standing at the last college or university attended, and they have completed at least 90 transferable quarter (60 semester) units of college coursework with a GPA of 2.0 or higher and a grade of “C” or better in each course used to meet the CSU general education requirements in written communication, oral communication, critical thinking and mathematics.

Transfer students may be provisionally admitted based on their academic preparation and courses planned for completion. All accepted applicants are required to submit an official transcript of all college level work completed. CSUSB will rescind admission for all students who are found ineligible after the final transcript has been evaluated.
