Eligibility Requirements
Please Note: Second BA or BS applications are currently not considered for admission to majors in the College of Business and Economics at Cal State Northridge. Exceptions to application closures are updated at Admissions Calendar.
A second bachelor's degree applicant is admitted to CSUN as a graduate student and must meet all of the following requirements:
- The applicant has an acceptable earned baccalaureate degree and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 in all units attempted as an undergraduate, independent of when the degree was granted;
- or, the applicant has an acceptable earned baccalaureate degree and a minimum grade point average of 2.5 in the last 60 semester/90 quarter units attempted from all post-secondary institutions attended. The entire semester or quarter in which the 60/90 units began will be used in the calculation;
- or, the applicant holds an acceptable post-baccalaureate degree earned at a regionally accredited institution.
Second BA or BS degree: A post baccalaureate student who holds a recognized bachelor's degree from an accredited institution may pursue a program leading to a second bachelor's degree in approved majors. The major may not be the same as the previously awarded degree. All students are urged to consult with a department advisor to determine whether a second bachelor's degree or a graduate program better meets their needs.
