What academic colleges and degree programs does CSUB offer?

CSUB organizes its academics into four named colleges and offers 55+ degree programs, with a second campus location in Antelope Valley. If you are comparing majors, the fastest path is the "All Majors and Degrees" listing on the CSUB site; if you already know your field, go straight to the relevant college.

The four academic colleges

The CSUB homepage names these colleges:

• Arts and Humanities
• Business and Public Administration
• Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Engineering
• Social Sciences and Education

Each college groups the majors and degrees in its discipline, so the college name is a useful first filter when you are narrowing down a field of study.

Finding the full list of majors and degrees

CSUB provides an All Majors and Degrees entry point from its homepage. Use it when you want the complete inventory rather than a single college's offerings. The homepage also states 55+ Degree Programs, which gives you a sense of scale before you start browsing — expect a list long enough that filtering by college or keyword is faster than reading top to bottom.

A second campus option: Antelope Valley

CSUB lists an Antelope Valley Campus alongside its main Bakersfield location. This matters if location is a deciding factor for you: the same university system offers coursework at more than one site, so check whether the program you want is available at the campus you can realistically attend.

What else the homepage tells you about scale

These figures are useful for context — a mid-sized university with a broad club and organization count — but they are not a substitute for checking whether your specific major exists and what it requires.

How to use this if you are choosing a program

1. Start with the college that matches your intended field.
2. Cross-check against the All Majors and Degrees list to confirm the exact program name.
3. Confirm whether the program is offered at the Bakersfield campus, the Antelope Valley Campus, or both.
4. If you are a future, transfer, or international student, follow the admissions path for your category rather than the general major listing alone.

The homepage also surfaces current stories and events — a mariachi ensemble launch, an expanded food pantry, a new dean for the School of Social Sciences and Education — which can hint at where the university is investing, though they are not program requirements.
