Admission Requirements

Admission is limited to approximately 20 students per year, but may increase depending on demand and college resources. Applicants are selected for their promise as interesting and creative individuals, not simply on the basis of grades or test scores.

Each applicant must meet the following basic requirements:

  1. A minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA in all college and university courses, and a minimum of 3.5 GPA in the major. Students with a 3.2 - 3.49 may be admitted if they are nominated by two tenured faculty members of the CBA. A maximum of 10% of the students in the program will be admitted by nomination.
  2. An 'A' in 2 out of 3 of the 'Category A' GE requirements or an equivalent measure of Writing Effectiveness.
  3. A completed application form. A personal interview may be requested at the discretion of the Program Director or Advisory Board.
  4. At least one letter of reference from a CSULB tenured (or tenure-track) faculty member. Additional outside character references (maximum of 2) are admissible as supplemental support for acceptance.
  5. Final approval by the Director of the CBAHP and/or CBAHP Advisory Board.

Applications must be received by March 16, 2010 for admission in the Summer Session 2010. Final application decisions are made by the Program Director.
