Non-degree Programs

Career and Technical Education gives you the chance to earn college credit without committing to a full degree program. It’s a great way to explore a career path while receiving credit for relevant high school or work-based learning—credit that can later count toward a degree or certificate.

If you’re interested in the Designated Subjects Teaching Credential Program, you’ll need a high school diploma (or equivalent) and at least five years of verifiable work experience in the vocation, skill, or trade you plan to teach.

The College of Extended and Global Education (CEGE) makes it possible for learners of all ages and backgrounds to reach their educational goals. From degrees and certificate programs to professional development and personal enrichment opportunities, you’ll find flexible options offered at both the San Bernardino and Palm Desert campuses.

Through the Online High School Program (offered through CEGE's Office of Professional and Continuing Education), high school students can complete courses in English, math, science, social science, or a foreign language—including Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

The College also offers the Open University Program, which allows community members to take regular undergraduate-level courses without formally applying to CSUSB. As long as you meet the prerequisites, you can enroll in classes listed in the CSUSB course catalog on a space-available, instructor-approved basis and earn college credit along the way.

For details, visit the College of Extended and Global Education website or call (909) 537-5975.

If you’re attending a Coachella Valley community college, you can take one upper-division course per semester at CSUSB’s Palm Desert Campus. It’s a great way to experience university-level learning close to home while earning credit that may transfer back to your college.

Courses are offered on a space-available basis, and students must meet certain academic requirements. For details on eligibility, fees, and deadlines, visit the Palm Desert Campus Cross Enrollment website.

If you’re a CSU student in good academic standing, you can take advantage of the CSU IntraSystem Enrollment program to study at another CSU campus. You have two options:

• Concurrent Enrollment: Stay enrolled at your home campus while also taking classes at another CSU.
• Visitor Enrollment: Enroll only at the visitor campus for a term.

This program gives you the flexibility to broaden your academic experience across the CSU system. Learn more about eligibility requirements for both programs through CSUSB’s Office of the Registrar.
