What is impaction? Are there any impacted majors at CSUSB?

Answer

An impacted major is one where more applications are received from eligible students during the initial filing period than the campus can enroll. There are four majors at CSUSB where admission requirements for the major are set higher than other majors at CSUSB. These majors are Pre-Criminal Justice, Kinesiology – Allied Health, Pre-Nursing, Pre-Psychology, and Pre-Social Work. Please visit our impaction information page for more information.

Applicants to Nursing and Social Work will be required to complete a supplemental application in order to be fully admitted into the major.

California residents are the only students who will be accepted into the Nursing major.
