Before applying

Step 1: Meet with an Advisor

Before applying, we highly recommended you make an appointment (in-person or online) with a program advisor. The application requires information from your transcripts, and our advisors can review those to ensure you meet all business course requirements before applying. They can also answer any questions you have about the program or application process.

Step 2: Submit online application

On your online application, you will need to provide information on previous courses you have completed in the Academic History portion.

IMPORTANT: It is crucial that all course information is inputted accurately. To do so, we advise that you have a copy of your unofficial transcripts while completing the application. If you skip this step, your application may be denied. You should also upload PDF copies of your unofficial transcripts in the documents portion of the application but will also need to send in official transcripts after submitting your application.

As you fill out your application, please select the following options:

Select “Undergraduate” as the level of degree you are seeking.
After selecting “Undergraduate”, select “Transferring with an Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T, AS-T) from a California community college” or “Transferring from a California community college or from another two-year or four-year institution” depending on which one applies to you.
- If you select “Transferring from a California community college or from another two-year or four-year institution”, select “Greater than or equal to 60 semester or 90 quarter hours (equivalent to Junior or higher)” as your completed credit hours.
Select “Business Administration - Professional Business" under Fullerton Extension as your intended program.

You will receive a confirmation email after successfully submitting your online application.

Step 3: Submit official transcripts

You will need to submit official transcripts and any official AP scores from all institutions you have attended to the Office of Admissions:

California State University, Fullerton
Office of Admissions
P.O. Box 6900
Fullerton, CA 92834-6900

It is important to submit all official transcripts as soon as possible, even if you have courses in progress. Your application is not considered complete without them and it will not be reviewed until they are received.

Fall applicants should submit official transcripts with grades through the previous fall

Spring applicants should submit official transcripts with grades through the previous summer
