The Special Education program is a fully online program. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) required international students (F1 visa) to be enrolled in at least 8 units every semester, and must take at least 6 units of coursework with an in-person or hybrid modality. This program is fully online and does not meet this requirement. We would like to encourage you to consider applying to one of our аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ College of Education graduate programs that has in-person or hybrid classes, as that this program will not meet the requirements for a student visa. 

If you have questions about your eligibility to complete the Special Education program, please contact the College of Education Graduate Studies Office at ced-gradstudies@csulb.edu.

Domestic applicants with foreign coursework and/or a degree from an institution outside of the United States, have additional requirements for admission including but not limited to:

• All transcripts/individual mark sheets from all institutions attended (see for details on what is needed)

Please refer to the Center for International Education for specific details on meeting these requirements. We strongly recommend that you complete your application at least 4 weeks before the deadline to allow time for the Evaluators in International Admission to evaluate your records.

If you have any questions regarding the status of your application, please email International Admissions or visit their .
