My time at CSUDH was incredibly rewarding. From orientation to graduation, it was clear that the environment was very collaboration-heavy, and I felt supported by both faculty and staff who genuinely care about student success. Many of the professors I had were approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. What I appreciated was how practical and career-focused many of the courses were. I didn’t just learn from PowerPoint or by taking notes; I was applying concepts through projects, group... Read More work, and hands-on experiences that actually prepared me for internships and future roles.

Not to mention its wide diversity and low costs, CSUDH is a great place to not only learn, but also to move into the next step of your career. I highly recommend this university.

I would rate California State University, Dominguez Hills a solid 4 out of 5 stars overall. My experience at CSUDH was positive in many important ways, specially in terms of personal growth, academic discipline and learning how to navigate college life. The University has a supportive environment, approachable professors, and a diverse student population that made it feel welcoming. I gained valuable skills such as time management, critical thinking, and collaborating, which benefits no matter what... Read More career path anyone follows. That said, while CSUDH provided a good general education, I was not the strongest choice specifically for Computer Science. The program covered foundational concepts that helped me understand the basics of programming and problem solving but it felt limited compared to what is offered at more tech focus universities. Some courses leaned more towards theory than hands on practice and there were fewer opportunities to work with modern tools, advanced software or real world projects that are increasingly important in the Computer Science field. Despite this the professors and staffs were knowledgeable and cared about student success. Many were wiling to help outside of class and encouraged questions which made learning less intimidating. Overall, CSUDH is a good school for students looking for an affordable, supportive and community oriented University experience. While it may not be the best option for someone seeking a highly specialized Computer Science Program. It still provided me with strong academic foundation and important life skills.

I truly enjoyed my experience at Dominguez. I really enjoyed the faculty (particularly my English professors). The class sizes were small resulting in a very close relationship with the professors. I loved the library. I felt the whole atmosphere was gemütlich (sorry for the pretentious insertion of a German word.
I transferred there after attending CSUN. I didn't enjoy my experience there at all. It was so crowded and most of the instructors I had were cold and kind of mediocre.
When I came to Dominguez... Read More I felt that I was welcome there. I was home!

CSUDH ROCKS!!! My undergraduate experience was amazing. I enjoyed my time and made some good friends along the way. I encountered genuinely caring and supportive staff who are willing to work with you especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only do I strongly recommend this school but I encourage anyone who is looking into continuing their education in social work to apply for the MSW program. I did and I have been accepted to start the 3 year MSW program in Fall 2022. I am so happy and proud... Read More of myself for reaching this huge milestone in my life. If you persevere, you can get through it no matter what!

Everything on campus is so unorganized, from education to extracurriculars. I am a transfer student and was on schedule to graduate early, but due to bad advising I have to actually stay an extra year and every semester I sign up for classes it takes me about a month to figure why I have silly holds on my accounts or other bull. The school does not adhere to their policies, often doing contrary to what they had originally said. Additionally, there are so many people hired in important roles that... Read More do nothing to progress and organize the school. Don't come here; they need motivation to change their policies. However, I will say some teachers on campus actually care about the education of their students and also do not like how the school is operated.

Dominguez Hills MSW Program is the newest, least known and least prestigious than any other CSU MSW Program. I know several placements that wills not consider nor accept Dominguez Hills MSW students for internships. CSU Los Angeles, Long Beach, Northridge and Fullerton offer a more varied program. I was not able to chose any electives at Dominguez Hills, nor were we allowed to register for the professor of our choice. The only thing worse than the academics at Dominguez Hills is the administration.... Read More They have no clue what they are doing.. .I was a student for two years and had five different academic advisers...None of whom I ever met. I'm still not certain what their function was. They are not able to retain any staff. These random professors would pop up a few days prior to enrollment who have never taught at the university previously, or taught anyplace else. But, no matter as we weren't allowed to chose the professors we wanted to take anyhow. If you have a really low GPA and low or no GRE this school is for you! I was accepted into Dominguez Hills MSW Program with a 2.2 GPA and no GRE score. This is why their reputation is so poor. ..They will take the other school's rejects. They don't tell you this part either: If you sign up for their part time program- you cannot use any state grant money or active undergrad grants --even if you qualify. It is the schools way of earning more money for themselves...and forces students to building-up more and more student debt. This My first job offer after graduation was for $3,000 more than I have been making at my current place of employment. Two years and $25,000 later --not a good decision. Weigh your options. CSU Long Beach and Los Angeles are both top schools for MSW degree in CA and both are reasonable. University of Phoenix or other online option would likely provide a more enriching experience than this university- if you can even call it that. It was more like a run-down community without the charm. They began construction and moved us to other non-classroom areas of the university for our courses. You can try complaining like I did...But these people are not their to work with you, assist or support you. They are there to get their pay check and go home... This will become evident after a few months if you "end up" at this school. Everyone in my MSW program was at Dominguez Hills because they were not accepted at any other CA State school. Nobody wanted to be there- which I think says a lot.

My undergraduate experience was absolutely amazing. I was very active on campus as I works and volunteered for various programs. I also help several job position titles throughout my time on campus. It allowed for me to view education from a different lens. My number one tip to student going through their undergrad experience is to make those connections with professors and faulty as they may be able to write recommendation letter for you potentially. Ensure that you are truly passionate about the... Read More major you are studying, too. One thing that CSU Dominguez Hills does a great job of is providing resources to their students. Whether that be helping a student establish an internship or exploring which major may be the best fit for them. When I went into the campus I was unsure of what I wanted to major in, so I went to the career center they aided me through a personality test to see what professions were ascribed to me. Although I could not necessarily choose of the options provided, I was able o see the theme of the options selected. I knew that I wanted to help people. An academic adviser then sat down with me to explore the various major programs applicable to me. That is essentially how I chose Sociology as my major. I was advised to take the introduction course which I did and fell in love with the content of the course. I am grateful of the faculty and staff I encountered along the way. One of my professors wrote me an astounding letter for my graduate program. Take advantage of your time in undergrad and explore what your true passion is.

Cal State University Dominguez Hills is a college that supports it's students and stands for the quality of their students education. If you chose to succeed in school, CSUDH will support you in plenty of ways. The Liberal Studies Program was extremely insightful on what the life of an educator will be like in the Los Angeles area and did not mislead us of the career. However, it was very impacted and counseling within the department could be much better. The University Academic Advising Center was... Read More outstanding and gave me hope for classes I petitioned and eventually got passed! Without their encouragement I would have never attempted to petition the course. The women at the front desk always welcomed everyone politely and walk in advising was caring and warm. Their assistance made a difference with my time in college. I highly advice becoming familiar with your professors within your major and counselors. The more you put yourself in the college setting, the more opportunity will present itself (financial assistance, student participation, educational seminars, volunteer work, etc.).

I had a great time when I attended California State University- Dominguez Hills. The campus was nice and it wasn't crowded, so I didn't have any trouble getting my classes. I really enjoyed my classes and professors who taught me a lot in the classroom. The student life is nice because I was able to meet some great people in classes and have continued that friendship after graduation. I was able to get every class and graduated in two years from CSUDH. For my major, business administration, it was... Read More one of the most rewarding experiences because the classes taught me the valuable lessons and insights that I can take with me as I find a career. From the time I started and to end when I graduated, I believe that it was the two best years of my college career. The campus, faculty, and fellow students made a great impact on myself and my future.

CSUDH was a phenomenal school with an excellent English Department. The smaller size of the school, in addition to having the funding backed by California State Universities makes it a wonderful opportunity to receive personalized attention. The English department in particular, and by my own favoritism, is such an amazing program. The professors all challenge their students to grow and to create their own ideal by engaging students through guided discussions. They not only teach, but encourage their... Read More students to formulate opinions of their own on each topic as well as encouraging their students to continue their understanding of the topics outside of the class. The professors are always willing and excited to assist and talk with students outside of class on any topic, whether discussed in class or not. They are all so greatly informed, it is such a gift to have them as resources during you career as a student there and as you continue post graduate. I would highly recommend the school and the program to anyone interested in receiving a personalized education at a low cost but with very high standards of achievement.
