Master's Degrees
Public Health: Community Health Education
Never has good public health been a more urgent need. Health care agencies are aggressively recruiting graduates of MPH programs, who can provide timely and credible health information to the public – about everything from pandemics to food programs. This master’s degree is ideal if you’re interested in a career with the World Health Organization, which requires a postgraduate specialization in a health- or management-related field for its higher-grade positions.
Communicative Disorders
This award-winning, online program prepares you to meet entry-level professional requirements for careers assisting both children and adults with a wide range of communication disorders.
Applied Behavior Analysis
As a behavior analyst, you can help improve the lives of clients and caregivers through effective behavioral inventions. In large cities, many with booming populations, the demand for these experts is high. A degree in the field not only prepares you for the important work of client recovery and improvement, but it also, if you choose CSUN, qualifies you to sit for the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) examination. Many, upon finishing this degree, continue on to doctoral work in related fields.
Social Work
In this program, you’ll learn how to improve social services and urban conditions for people and communities in Southern California and across the nation. Delivered fully online, the program provides the skills and knowledge to thrive at all levels of the field – individual, group, and societal – and arranges fieldwork placements for you.
Assistive Technology and Human Services
In cities around the country, persons with disabilities rely on assistive technology devices to pursue active, healthy lives. By earning this degree, you can begin a career focused on helping assistive technology users; ensuring compliance with regulations; and creating a more equitable environment for all.
Bachelor’s Degrees
Nursing – Accelerated Program
The Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (A-BSN) is a fast-paced program that prepares you for a career in nursing.

Certificates
Perioperative Nursing
This short-term certificate program prepares you for a career in perioperative (OR) nursing.

When you finish the program, you’ll have much of the preparation needed to sit for the Certified Perioperative Credential (CNOR) exam.
