Graduate applicants who have met all admission requirements except English Proficiency can apply for conditional admission through the CSUDH American Language and Culture Program (ALCP).

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."
