For the second straight year, CSUN landed on Billboard's list of the nation's best music business schools. Lauded for its experiential learning and entrepreneurship, CSUN is named alongside other giants in the world of music education, like Berklee, Drexel and NYU.
California State University, Northridge is the No. 2 public university in California and the No. 12 public university in the nation, according to the Wall Street Journal/College Pulse 2024 Best Colleges in the U.S. ranking.
CSUN was the top-rated CSU and trailed only UC Berkeley in California.
The rankings identified CSUN as the nation's fifth-best university for social mobility and No. 20 for student experience.

In this ode to Saint Valentine, staff put their red foot forward.
Strike a pose because the Tseng College is feeling the love. The staff assembled in the building’s atrium today for a rousing red photoshoot. We think you’ll agree: Our photographer, Cupid, is one heck of a shot.
Although it’s no box of Sweethearts – you’re heartbroken, I’m sure – this ensemble of red coats, pants, jackets, shoes and scarves is our festive consolation.
Here’s to all you lovebirds out there.
Happy Valentine's Day,
The Tseng College Staff
Are you wondering if a master's degree is a worthwhile pursuit?
Undoubtedly, getting a master's degree has many benefits. It can increase your earning potential, deepen your knowledge, and expand your professional network. During grad school, you can enhance your personal and professional development to stand apart and thrive in today's highly competitive and fast-changing marketplace.
Whether you're looking to advance in your current field or change careers entirely, an advanced degree can help you open new doors and develop a well-rounded skill set.
It's a typical scenario: you walk into the doctor's office, possibly after several postponements, afraid of what they might find. Will your blood pressure be up? Or maybe your cholesterol, you think. A myriad of possible underlying conditions flash suddenly through your head.
But what if, instead of health worries, your fear was based on who you are.
That, for most of our history, has been the experience of LGBTQ+ populations -in health care and elsewhere.
Fortunately, though, that's changing.
Last Wednesday, CSUN played host to several out of towners - one of them, the President of the American University of Bahrain (AUBH), Bradley J. Cook. Joining him was Ahmed Mitwalli, Executive Board Member and Chief Strategy Officer of ESOL Education.
The visit, although friendly, marked a significant milestone. In 2021, CSUN and AUBH formalized a major, multi-institutional partnership. Wednesday's visit is the first time since completing the agreement that President Cook has set foot on campus. (The first time ever, actually.)
Congratulations to our Master of Arts in Music Industry Administration (MIA) alumnus, Andrae Alexander! Last month, he won a Grammy Award as a songwriter for "Freedom," on Jon Batiste's Album of the Year, "We Are."
The first graduate program of its kind in the Western United States, CSUN's MIA is an excellent solution for professionals seeking careers in the industry. It's also one of the few contemporary music industry graduate programs in the world.
Listen and learn more about Andrae's journey!
When you opened this page, where did your eyes go? Probably to the first line, and now, reading this, to the next. But what if they didn't? What if, instead of a predictable path, your eyes fixed on something else entirely?
This, in part, is what Katerina Fassov explored in her recent presentation at CSUN's Assistive Technology Conference.
CSUN business students don't just study in a classroom. During tax season, they're out in the community, offering free help to taxpayers. Those with an annual income of $58,000 or less can get their taxes prepared and filed for free, thanks to CSUN's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Clinic. The David Nazarian College of Business and Economics administers the annual program through the Bookstein Institute for Higher Education in Taxation.
