Cal State Apply Error

The Cal State Apply website is currently listing most campuses as being closed for Graduate Programs. That is incorrect. Cal State Apply is currently working to resolve this issue.  

Students applying to one of our graduate programs, either in Family and Consumer Sciences or Human Nutrition, may still submit their application.

Please visit our Graduate Program pages for application and admission information: Mast of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences and Master of Science in Human Nutrition.
