Graduate Application Assistance
Need assistance completing your application for a gradua
te program at CSUSB? We’re here to help!
As part of the California State University System, applicants to CSUSB complete the CSU system-wide Cal State Apply application. Because applying to graduate school can be more complex than an undergraduate application, we’ve put together some resources to help you confidently navigate the application process.
