Through The Tseng College's University Access programs, individuals and organizations in the region enjoy direct access to a wide array of undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in the university's many fields and disciplines.
- Open University
- Members of the community are invited to enroll in CSUN undergraduate and graduate level university credit courses without formal application or admission to the University through the Open University Program administered by The Tseng College. Those enrolled in the Open University Program attend the regular day or evening credit courses, participate side-by-side with degree-seeking students, and enjoy the same intellectual challenges and rewards. Credits earned through Open University may be applied to degree work and transferred to other universities.
Only nonmatriculated students (nonmatriculated student is one who has not been admitted to a degree program) are permitted to enroll in Open University program.
