Post Baccalaureate Admissions Criteria
Eligibility Requirements
To be admitted to CSUN as a graduate student, students must meet all of the following requirements:
- Have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university or college.
- Have been in good standing at the last institution attended.
- Have at least a 2.5 grade point average in the last 60 semester/90 quarter units attempted, independent of when the baccalaureate was granted. The entire semester or quarter in which the 60/90 units began will be used in this calculation. Lower-Division courses or courses taken in extension (except in concurrent enrollment at CSUN in the Upper-Division), after obtaining the bachelor's degree, will be EXCLUDED from the calculation.
A Post Baccalaureate Unclassified student usually attends for professional and/or for personal enrichment only. Such students require permission of the instructor and the department to enroll in courses in the 500/600 series. Schools and departments with a large enrollment of graduate students sometimes restrict admission to undergraduate courses as well.
