Thank you for your
interest in California State University San Marcos. Each graduate or
credential program requires both a university application (submitted on
CSU Mentor) and a program application (available from the academic
department or college). You are encouraged to contact the
academic department offering your graduate or credential program for
additional
information regarding the program or credential application. Links to
academic programs are available at www.csusm.edu/gsr/graduatestudies/contacts.html.
SPRING 2011
CSU San Marcos will be accepting spring 2011 applications from applicants in select teaching credential and graduate programs. Although applications will be accepted, actual admissions will be contingent on additional funding provided by the 2010-11 California state budget and will be determined at a later date.
FALL 2010
The
application filing period for fall 2010 begins October 1, 2009.
Applications will be accepted for all credential and graduate
programs. To complete your application, you must submit two copies of
official transcripts from each college or university you have
previously attended. One official copy should be sent to the Office of
Admissions & Recruitment and a second should be sent to the program
or credential to which you have applied. Official transcripts should
be submitted immediately after submitting your application for
admission and no later than February 1, 2010 for priority
consideration.
The following programs are offered by Extended Learning and applicants must be pre-screened before submitting an application on CSU Mentor: Accelerated Second Baccalaureate in Nursing (ABSN), Master of Arts in Education: Communicative Sciences & Disorders, Master of Biotechnology, and Master of Science in Nursing.
