Best online school for working parents and if you want to obtain your BSN while keeping your work and family schedule. Just follow their BSN pathway. If time isn't a hindrance to you, take two courses per semester so you're not overwhelmed by your personal life & class work schedule. It is a lot of research work, reports, clinical hours but you will get done with it. It is not easy but you can do it if you're serious with your studies and do not want to waste thousands of dollars. Most of my professors hold a doctorate degree and Masters. They were very strict and take plagiarism very seriously. Once you cheat you are out !!! I went through a very tough BSN program. No one can say the BSN program here was easy. No way!!! You will have to work very hard that is why I balance my semester units, family time & work schedule. I got through with some As mostly Bs and some Cs. Hey, I'm a mother of 4. I think I did pretty good :) Also get tuition reimbursement at work if offered so it's not so heavy on you financially. Dr. Chai is great BSN Coordinator. CSUDH is a pioneer in online classes especially in Nursing. It is all about performance at work not the school you came from that matters. I must say CSUDH has good reputation at my hospital and is selected by other hospitals to affiliate with their nurses obtaining their BSN degree. CSUDH will rank as one of the top notch universities one day!!!. CSUDH caters to all ethnicities and you won't feel so different. Overall, you get great education for a fairly reasonable...
Read moreIt seems that CSUDH has gotten a bad rap. USC was my first choice but because of work, I had to choose a college within a 5-10 mile radius of my home/job/kids school. At first I was skeptical because at the time, their graduation rate was only 36%. I came to discover that it was because CSUDH allows everyone an opportunity to enter; and those who aren't dedicated to their education, fall by the wayside. However, if you WANT an education, CSUDH will not fail you. Their professors are great and their processes are clear. I do think this university would benefit from higher entry level requirements because it would bring in a higher caliber of student. Also, I would LOVE it if they had a football team! Not a soccer team but a FOOTBALL team. Other than that, I have no real gripe. My education there has been solid and as I gather my letters of recommendation for grad school, I will encourage others to complete their undergrad there. It's a smooth transition for transfer students, diverse environment (age, ethnicity, beliefs, national origin, etc.) and opportunities for exploration and growth are everywhere. CSUDH is...
Read moreReview from 2014: This school has an awesome food court. I don't drink alcohol but I learned that this school has a liquor license. It's actually one of the few Cal State schools that have one. The bar is located right below food court.
2021 update: since this post is being viewed quite a bit I decided to provide an update. Food court changed throughout the 2yrs I was there. Many restaurants closed but the bar continued to be very popular and also served good food. I graduated in 2018. Majored in Community Health. I don't have any complains about the faculty or department. I was a transfer student and my experience was great. Classroom size was decent (most classes
