The Department of Professional Studies at CSULB is the largest distance education program in the California State University system. We began offering programs off campus in the 1970s, and have continued to grow as technology has advanced and as the need for off campus instruction has increased. The Designated Subjects Credential program and the Master of Arts degree have been offered since 1976. We started offering the entire baccalaureate degree in off-campus locations in 1994, and currently offer the BS degree at sites throughout California. To locate a bachelor's degree site near you see the table below. Information on the degree itself may be found here.
The Master of Science in Emergency Services Administration has been offered at distant sites since 1998, and is now located in 19 sites around California in addition to the on-campus programs. To locate a master's degree site near you see the table below.
