Hey there! Quick question - I'm considering applying to some CSUs (California State Universities). Can someone tell me which ones are highly ranked, especially for humanities? If anyone could provide me with some insights on this, I'd really appreciate it!
Absolutely, happy to help! When looking at California State Universities for the humanities, a few stand out.
1. San Diego State University: This university offers a variety of strong programs in the humanities such as History, English, and Philosophy.
2. California State University, Fullerton: Fullerton has a well-respected humanities program with faculty who are well-known in their fields.
3. San Francisco State University: San Francisco State has strong programs in English, Creative Writing, and Philosophy.
4. California State University, Long Beach: This university has strengths in Arts programs, English, and History.
5. California State University, Northridge: You might want to consider Northridge for English literature and Philosophy programs.
Remember that rankings can sometimes obscure what might make a university the best fit for you, such as the style of instruction, the supportive resources available, and the campus culture. While these CSUs are noted for their humanities, you'll want to delve into the specifics of the programs you're interested in and potentially reach out to faculty or current students to get a sense of what the program is like.
Last but not least, while considering these options, be aware that Cal State schools do not consider essays in their admissions process and the application filing period is between October 1 and November 30. Wishing you the best in finding the right fit for you!
