The application for Graduate Admission to the University is available online through CSU Mentor (www.csumentor.edu). One complete set of official transcripts must be submitted with the university application. This set of transcripts will be used to determine grade point average eligibility. Failure to submit transcripts in a timely manner will result in a delayed review of the application.
A separate application to the School Psychology program must be submitted to the College of Education Graduate Studies Office (EED-7). An application and directions can be downloaded from the College of Education website (www.ced.csulb.edu/graduate/application-packets). The program application does not require a set of transcripts. After an initial paper screening, select applicants are invited for an interview with program faculty.
