<p>Which Cal States are the best for Computer Science? For psychology?</p>
<p>For computer science I figured Cal Poly SLO and Cal Poly Pomona, but any others (the "second tier" computer science schools)?</p>
<p>For psychology I figured San Diego State University and Cal State Long Beach. Again, looking for the "second tier" psychology schools.</p>
<p>The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking into the possibilities of getting a second bachelor's degree. Cal Poly SLO, Cal Poly Pomona, SDSU, and CSULB don't take second baccalaureate students (CSULB takes natural sciences/engineering students).</p>
<p>I would also like to note the options of UC Santa Cruz and UC Riverside are available for second bachelor's degrees in those areas. Would they offer a better psychology/computer science program than the Cal States? (Still want the other questions answered too)</p>
<p>For computer science, check out San Jose State.</p>
<p>What is your first bachelors degree in? Most CSUs and UCs won't accept people for a second bachelor degree because there is too much demand from people without any bachelor degree.</p>
<p>Oops, forgot to mention that SJSU has the same restriction as CSULB (engineering/natural sciences only).</p>
<p>My first B.A. is in Asian Studies from a UC. Really interesting but totally useless for finding a job. I found a field that I'm interested in but requires a psychology degree (where additional computer science courses would be helpful).</p>
<p>The CSUs that are second tier overall are: Chico/Fullerton/Sonoma/Humboldt/San Francisco/Stanislaus, and they seem to be accepting second baccalaureate students. Just have no idea which ones are good for Psychology and/or Computer Science.</p>
<p>I would take the GRE or GMAT and apply to grad/business school. I wouldn't focus on getting another bachelors.</p>
<p>I've considered it, but I'm not interested in going to business school just yet (if ever?).</p>
<p>I'm trying to get into a grad program that needs a psychology degree (or a good amount of psychology classes). I'd be willing to put the two years in that it would take to finish the psychology degree. I actually had a doable plan to get my psychology degree in one year at my former school, but their School of Social Sciences wasn't taking second bacs (so lame!).</p>
<p>It's possible not to get a psych degree and just take psych courses, but the amount I would need would take about a year anyway (psychology research classes/psychology statistics classes/some cognitive science classes). If I'm going to take enough courses to finish half to two-thirds a degree, I figured it might just be worth it to get the degree itself.</p>
