The Graduate & Professional Schools Fair will be held at CSULB on Thursday, September 14th, 2023 at the CSULB Speaker's Platform from 11am - 3pm.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn about master's, doctoral, certificate, and credential programs. Explore different academic options and get informed about various post-baccalaureate opportunities as you begin preparing for the next steps of your education.

Program representatives from 130+ colleges and universities will be available to provide information and answer questions about program requirements, how to apply, potential funding, and other important information you need to select the right program for you. 

To get the most out of your experience, check out our list of sample questions to ask program representatives to gather important information about programs.

This event is free and open to all (including non-CSULB students). No registration required! 

 

The California Pre-Doctoral Program is designed to increase the pool of potential California State University faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of CSU students who have experienced economic and educational disadvantages.

Registration for the California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education will open in Summer 2024 for recruiters and Fall 2024 for students. Complete this form be contacted when registration opens.

About the Forum

The California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education, planned by a consortium of public and private colleges and universities from throughout California, have been designed particularly to meet the needs of advanced undergraduates and master's candidates who belong to groups that are currently underrepresented in doctoral-level programs. The groups include low-income and first-generation college students and especially African Americans, American Indians, Chicanos/Latinos, Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, Asian American women, and Asian American men in the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences.

Each California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education will bring together approximately 1,000 pre-selected, high-achieving undergraduate and master's students enrolled at colleges and universities within California. The students will explore graduate opportunities and resources by participating in numerous workshops conducted throughout the day. Universities and individual graduate programs offering academic master's and/or Ph.D. degrees are welcome to participate in the recruitment fairs that will take place concurrently with the other planned activities. Note that these events are for all disciplines except programs in medicine, dentistry, optometry, chiropractic, pharmacy, veterinary science, and law, all of which have their own recruiting networks.

The CSUCI Graduate Studies Center hosts a Graduate and Professional School Fair during the fall semester, and offers students and alumni a wide variety of graduate and professional school programs to choose from. 

About the CSUCI Graduate and Professional School Fair
