New to Cal State San Bernardino, spring applications will now be accepted from first-time, upper-division transfer and returning students for two undergraduate programs: psychology and criminal justice.

Registration for the highly sought-after programs will be from Aug. 1-Sept. 15 with classes scheduled to start in January. Due to high demand, students are encouraged to register early to reserve their spots. To apply for spring 2025, visit the Cal State Apply webpage.

CSUSB’s psychology and criminal justice programs have received national recognition for their innovative practices and quality education. Additionally, students learn from faculty who are experts in their fields, providing them invaluable insights. 

In the psychology program, students conduct experimental coursework, as well as gain hands-on laboratory and fieldwork experience, allowing them to explore their academic interests and different career pathways. With a student-centered approach, faculty provide a teaching-learning environment, where students apply the knowledge they acquire in the classroom to real-world settings through internships and research opportunities.  

Criminal justice is an interdisciplinary program that provides students with the flexibility to pursue their own interests. The program, housed in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, offers a broad array of coursework and activities designed to prepare students for careers in the field or to continue their professional education. Housed within CSUSB’s Center for Criminal Justice Research is the Dale K. Sechrest Criminal Justice Research Lab, where students get in-depth training, obtain internships and acquire research experience.

Financial aid opportunities are available, and students who qualify can take advantage of a $1,000 grant for newly enrolled spring 2025 students.

For students who missed the fall application window, it is not too late to apply. With the addition of the spring applications, students are provided a new opportunity to attend CSUSB and continue their educational journey.
