Once a Coyote, always a Coyote! California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) alumni all feel the same! As alumni of the College of Arts & Letters English/Creative Writing concentration, I can attest to a positive, supportive and exciting educational experience. The Creative Writing professors are stellar: Published writers, all--an eclectic, interesting and knowledgeable group of individuals who do more than teach...they immerse themselves in the writing passion of their students. The special... Read More topic courses (reflecting the off-the-beaten-path interests of the professor's) offered are exceptional. For example, I spent an entire quarter delving into vampires! Vampires in modern fiction....vampires in the antiquarian era. CSUSB professor's keep things very interesting with workshops, topic courses and general courses, as well. I walked into CSUSB knowing only one thing: I wanted to write the very best I was able. I left with a world greatly expanded...a Pushcart Prize nomination, publishing credits, poetry readings (which I NEVER thought I could do), a book of prose completed, readings live on radio--all due to the support and guidance of a University with thoughtful, mindful and fun teachers and fellow students. I highly recommend the CSUSB English programs. They can change a life!

CSU San Bernardino has positively impacted my life because I have felt immensely supported from day one. This institution has countless of programs and opportunities for student success. During the summer incoming freshmen students attend an orientation that is a two day, overnight experience in which they are provided with a dorm, assistance with registering for fall classes, a campus tour, and introduction to on-campus clubs and organizations. Personally, I became involved with the Student Assistance... Read More in Learning (SAIL) Program and have taken advantage of the advising services, Saturday studying before finals week, and access to adjunct courses. The adjunct courses helped me tremendously because a SAIL instructor would sit in the lecture I was enrolled in. The adjunct instructor would take notes and would provide scheduled lecture reviews and assistance with homework and test preparation. The campus also provided me with an opportunity to work on-campus through the Work Study office. I would definitely encourage students to apply to the work-study program when filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Being an on-campus student assistant allowed me to further network with staff and faculty. A huge takeaway from this campus experience is that if you are willing to ask, someone is more than happy to help!

California State University, San Bernardino is a productive school to attend because of the diversity population of students.

CSUSB is said to be a commuter school for students that live all over the IE. CSUSB has great resources for students, supporting staff, and great internship opportunities.

CSUSB had a library that has 5 floors in which students can go to get books but also is used primarily as a place to study with many study spots great for individual students or study group sessions. CSUSB is a medium size campus where most students decide to walk to class but many people to bike and/ or skateboard to class since certain building can be more spread out than others. CSUSB offers a psychology degree and they have a human development degree that many students can receive a dual major within 4-5 years because both of these majors have a huge overlap in classes. Apart from students obtaining a BA or BS students are able to get minor and certificates if they have a desire to. Faulty at CSUSB like to be available for students and offer guidance and extra support if needed.

The CSUSB Kinesiology Department is exceptional. They truly care about their students and the material that is being taught. There was not one professor who I would consider as a poor one. They all love what they do and are so enthusiastic about your education. Not only was the department great, but the school was great in getting me through rather quickly. I was able to complete 88 units in one and a half years. The campus is beautiful as well. I genuinely enjoyed my time at CSUSB and I will very... Read More much miss it.

California State University San Bernardino's supportive atmosphere was what I enjoyed most about this university. The programs, clubs, faculty, staff and even students were always willing to help me in my college career.

The faculty, even though tough when it comes to academics, want you to learn and succeed and were genuine with their support.... Read More My experience at CSUSB was one I will never forget and cherish.

I graduated with dual bachelors degrees in Psychology and Human Development in December of 2015. I initially came into CSUSB focusing on a BA in Psychology and ended up adding the dual BA in Human Development later on. The transition was really simple and 2 degrees ended up taking me 5 years. The dual BA offered me an internship opportunity that drove my passion into entering the field of social work and now I am starting my 2-year Master in Social Work program hoping to go for licensing in becoming... Read More a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at the end of it. I'm so satisfied that I chose to complete my 2 BA degrees at CSUSB. Overall, I have had a positive experience at CSUSB and I'm happy to be returning for my Masters!

CSUSB offers an affordable education experience compared to many of the universities available. The campus is very well laid out and the facilities are well kept. The school is always striving to improve and the improvements are visible and useful. With the current plan that has been approved by the state the school is working towards making the school bigger and better for the future. The campus in many ways makes you feel like you are in a city of your own, unattached from its actual location.... Read More Do not let the city it resides in be a factor in your decision for the school does a very good job at distinguishing itself as its own identity and location.

I was very hesitant to do my masters degree at CSUSB because I had done my bachelors in English Linguistics there and I was looking to broaden my horizons. However, when I began looking into other masters programs outside of California I began to notice that they have Composition & Rhetoric and Applied Linguistics under two different colleges hence I would have had to choose between the two. What was ultimately the deciding factor in me applying to do my MA at CSUSB was the fact that I could do both... Read More Composition and Applied Linguistics because for us they are both under the department of English. Personally I believe that composition and applied linguistics go hand in hand and they are very difficult to separate. I love the MA program at CSUSB because they have found a way to intertwine both concentrations and offer me opportunities to put theory to practice. Through the masters program they offer us the opportunity to apply to the Teaching Associateship program which allows us to teach two quarters of the first year writing composition courses at CSUSB. Having this opportunity to teach my own class is an amazing opportunity that not every program offers. I have successfully completed one year in the masters program and look forward to completing my degree this upcoming year.
