Applying to a California State University

Discover more and apply:

The California State University System is made up of 23 campuses throughout the state. Campuses vary in size, programs offered, selectivity and even mission. Some majors are "impacted" meaning that there are more qualified applicants than there is room to admit. In several instances, every program at an entire campus is impacted.  To learn more about impaction at CSU campuses, look here:
