Transferring from Csu to Csu

Hello there, I am currently going to school at CSU Dominguez Hills and I want to transfer to another csu, preferable CSU Fullerton. Personally I have had a great time my freshman year at Dominguez Hills and my experience there was the reason why I questioned my life a bit more. (A little background on me) I did not try my best in High School and really did not think about college because I was not allowed to go far. (my parents were strict, still are) Now that I am a little wiser, I want to know my opinions and this site has been of great help to me about CSU’s and UC’s but I have not seem/reach the forum on transferring from CSU to CSU. So if you guys can help me out on that subject, I would love it. Sorry if this was more information than needed but I did not want it to seem like I am dissing my school or anything of that sort with the lack of detail in my question. And the major I am hoping to get into in the future is international business. If you have any advise on that subject, I would love to hear it or the idea of other schools that have better business programs, I am all ears.

Assuming you’ve completed the correct courses and # of units, you can apply to transfer to another CSU in November for admission as a Jr the following August. The ‘best’ business programs at CSUs by most accounts are CP SLO, SDSU, CSULB, Chico and Fullerton (generally in order) That said, CP SLO and SDSU are notoriously hard to transfer into. (SLO doesn’t accept many at all and both have a significant preference for local CC applicants.) A 3.2-3.4 transfer GPA should do the trick at the other 3.

You certainly can apply and see what happens.

Honestly though, most CSUs have solid business programs that are particularly respected locally. If you plan to stay within a 30-50 mile radius of for you first job, you might want to stay put, try to nab a local internship that could turn into a career. This is much easier to do if you have 4 years in one place.

If you think you’d like to venture beyond that area, a better recognized program is something to consider - or one closer to where you’d like to start your career.

Make sure you have the Golden Four finished by Spring semester before transferring. Use assist.org and plug in the CSU(s) that you plan to apply and then pick a local CCC and try to match up the required transfer courses for your major at CSUDH. As @NCalRent stated, there are many options when it comes to transferring into business. Both SLO and SDSU are tough admits and both give priority to local applicants. CSUF has an excellent business program so it is a very likely target if you have a GPA of 3.3+.

Good Luck.
