To be admitted to the Master of Science in Quality assurance program, applicants must meet all CSUDH graduate admissions requirements listed below:
Hold a four year baccalaureate degree in a technical field from an accredited institution (or if in a non-technical field, receive approval from the Quality Assurance Program Academic Coordinator).
Have a background which includes preparation in both college level mathematics and computer concepts (In some cases conditional admission to the program will be considered subject to completion of undergraduate prerequisite course work. All conditional admissions are subject to approval by the Quality Assurance Program Academic Coordinator.)
Have achieved a grade point average of 2.5 (on a four point scale) in their bachelors degree. Students with a grade point average of below 2.5 and have a background in quality assurance may also be considered for admission.
Be in official "good standing" at the last educational institution attended.
Note: the MSQA program no longer accepts students residing in the following US States: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon, and Wyoming.
The following materials are required for admission review by the submission deadline: Please note that the cut-off dates for Admission to the Fall Term is July 1, and for the Spring Term is November 1. Applications are not accepted for the Winter Term. Even though the student may have paid a late fee of $15.00 after these date for late processing there does come a time when processing stops. If the University does not have your complete package (application, transcripts and other required documents) by July 1 for the Fall Term and November 1 for the Spring Term you have passed the deadline date for processing and it stops. At this point you will need to re-apply with a new application for the next term.
Do not be confused by the Admissions Office, the dates they state apply for on-campus courses only. Internet Terms begin before the on-campus terms for both Fall and Spring Terms. The applicant must have been accepted to the university before the first class meeting in order to be considered a graduate student in the MSQA program rather than an open enrollment student or a College of Continuing and Professional Education student. Students accepted after the first class meeting will not be able to enroll in courses, and their acceptance will be revoked for non-attendance by the Admissions Office. At this point you will need to re-apply with a new application for the next term.

Contact your previous college(s) to request official transcripts
Applicants must provide 1 official transcript from each post-secondary institution attended (post-baccalaureate course work included) be sent electronically to the Admissions and Records Department at CSUDH using a third-party service. Only transcripts sent via third-party service will be considered official. Emailed transcripts will not be considered official.
If the institution providing the transcript can only mail the transcript, mail it to:
MSQA Program Office
College of Continuing and Professional Education
California State University, Dominguez Hills
1000 E. Victoria St.
Carson, CA 90747
If you are applying and have used other names on your transcripts be sure to include a list with your current name (as on the application) and include all names on your transcripts so that we can group the transcripts when presenting them to the Admissions and Records office with the prospective student’s application ID number.
Transcripts that have been faxed, accidentally opened, or are unofficial/student copies are NOT acceptable. Compilation-style transcripts (such as those from University of New York Regents, Thomas Edison State College, or similar programs) are not sufficient for evaluation because these schools tend to delete pertinent academic information from the student's records. Therefore, individual transcripts from ALL schools are required.
International Students: See special instructions below regarding transcript submission.
Students residing in foreign countries:
READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU APPLY – IT MAY DETERMINE YOUR ELIGIBILITY:
Students who attended institutions outside the U.S. must have earned an undergraduate degree, which has equivalency to a four-year degree program in an accredited U.S. institution.
The Admissions Office requires official transcripts from all previously attended institutions. If the transcripts are in a language other than English, they will need to be translated by a certified translator.
Note: If you are a student from outside of the United States, please apply to the program as an "Internet Student," not an "International Student."
The GRE, GMAT or other entrance exams are not required.
