Tseng College Congratulates May Graduates

The Tseng College collaborates with other CSUN colleges to offer university degree programs specially designed for midcareer professionals. While participants in these programs may do much or – in the case of distance learning – all of their learning "off campus," these students are CSUN graduates and honored as such when they complete their courses of study. We take this opportunity to congratulate them and wish them success in their chosen fields.

Communication Disorders and Sciences – The fifth cohort of students to complete this three-year distance-learning master's degree program will participate in an on-campus graduation ceremony with fellow students from the College of Health and Human Development on May 31. Among the 29 participants in this online cohort were students who reside in Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Israel as well as in various parts of California.

Engineering Management – The second cohort of Northrop Grumman employees to complete their distance-learning Master of Science in Engineering Management degree will graduate with fellow students from the College of Engineering and Computer Sciences at an on-campus ceremony on May 31.
