Career Preparation Quickmatch Guide

To prepare well-rounded students who thrive when faced with the constantly changing demands of the 21st-century workplace, we offer interdisciplinary programs that connect several traditional fields of study in meaningful ways. As a result, our interdisciplinary academic programs provide clear pathways to over 200 careers.

Because you likely have a career or two in mind, we have provided this Quickmatch Guide to help you locate one or more CSUMB degree programs that can help you reach each. If you've been thinking in terms of fields of study rather than specific careers, you'll find those listed here, too.

To use the guide, simply locate a field of interest, and look below it for related CSUMB academic programs. Then click a program name to read more about.

Don’t see your preferred career listed? Our Integrated Studies Special Major may be able to accommodate your specific needs, while all of our interdisciplinary degree programs provide broad preparation that will make you adaptable in the marketplace.

Don’t know what you want to do with your life? CSUMB Career Development will work with you to identify your interests and strengths to find an ideal career.
