I have most recently applied as a Business major, with an option in Information Systems, to seven different Cal States. I ultimately plan on gearing my career towards Business Analytics. I have heard back from two thus far:
Cal State Northridge - accepted
Cal State Long Beach - accepted
Cal Poly SLO - pending
Cal Poly Pomona - pending
Cal State Fullerton - pending
San Diego State - pending
San Jose State - pending
Just wondering if anyone has attended these schools or has some useful information about their programs (the good, the bad, etc.). I also plan on visiting each school in person to get a better idea of their programs in the next two months.
Thanks for your help!
My top picks would be Cal Poly SLO, SDSU, CSU Long Beach, CSU Fullerton. Nothing wrong with the other CSU’s such as CPP, SJSU and CSU Northridge.
@Gumbymom Just curious any specific reason for Fullerton over CPP & SJSU?
CSU Fullerton’s Mihaylo College of Business has a very good reputation in the Orange County/Southern California area. It may depend upon which area you plan to work after graduation. For the Bay Area, it may make more sense for SJSU. You really cannot go wrong with any of the Cal State options although CSUN is known more for Accounting vs. Business/IS.
i wouldn’t get too wound up about picking your destination until you hear back from the other schools.
in the interim, visit the campuses and keep an open mind.
good luck.
Just curious, how is Cal Poly Pomona’s Computer Information System, regarding programs and job placement? My son may apply for it this year. Thanks!
