Earn your degree online in a structured format
The Bachelor of Arts in Humanities & Social Sciences Online Degree-Completion Program is a structured degree program from California State University, Fullerton, a nationally recognized public university and a leading institution in the California State University system. This fully-online program is designed for working professionals and anyone with a busy schedule who wants the convenience of learning online.
More than just a degree
The program’s interdisciplinary curriculum will provide you with a broad and well-rounded understanding of the humanities and social sciences. You will develop your communicative, collaborative and analytical skills while expanding your knowledge of yourself and the world—skills that support a wide range of career paths. The program also emphasizes understanding identity and culture, which can translate to stronger cultural awareness and effective communication.
Convenience without compromise
As a student in this fully online program, you’ll learn from CSUF faculty and complete this degree through a structured, part-time format. The program follows a non-accelerated three-year sequence, with online coursework that allows you to plan around your responsibilities while staying on a clear path to graduation. Through the cohort-model, you'll collaborate with classmates and engage with faculty throughout the program. And when you finish, you're welcome to participate in the traditional on-campus commencement ceremony and join the CSUF alumni community.
