START BY TAKING A SINGLE COURSE
Explore your educational options without committing yourself to a degree program!

If you are interested in a certain field of study but aren't sure if it is the right program for you, why not take a few individual courses before you decide? Perhaps you don't need a full degree, but just a couple of courses; or, you just want to gain knowledge to advance professionally or personally. Either way, at CalSouthern, you can take your time and let our advisors help you find the right courses to take without committing to a degree program.

You will still receive the same personalized guidance and one-on-one support from our staff and Faculty Mentors as our degree-seeking students. If you decide to apply for admission to a degree program after your first few courses, your non-degree credits will be evaluated and transferred where applicable to the degree requirements.
