Starting Fall 2006: B.S. in Business Administration at Glendale College

Last May we announced that CSUN's bachelor's degree-completion program in Business Administration with an Emphasis in Management for working adults would be starting at Glendale College in fall 2005. However, because many applicants lacked the prerequisite courses for admission, the start of the program has been postponed to fall 2006 to give everyone time to complete the prerequisites. This 52-unit program is designed to be convenient and easily accessible for working professionals and takes only two years to complete. Presentations describing the program for prospective students will be held at Glendale College on May 9 and June 8 from 4 to 6 p.m. The university's Business Administration academic advisor and The Tseng College's program director will be on hand to answer questions and provide assistance with the application process. For more information, contact Simin Bahmanyar at (818) 677-2465 or sb46634@csun.edu.


Starting Fall 2006: B.A. in Liberal Studies at Glendale College

Also designed for working adults and starting at Glendale College in fall 2006 is CSUN's bachelor's degree-completion program in Liberal Studies with an Emphasis in General Studies. This 60-unit program can be completed in less than two and a half years. Presentations describing the program for prospective students will be held at Glendale College on May 9 and June 8 from 4 to 6 p.m. The university's Liberal Studies academic advisor and The Tseng College's program director will be on hand to answer questions and provide assistance with the application process.
