California State University-Dominguez Hills Rankings by Salary Score

Dominguez Hills MSW Program is the newest, least known and least prestigious than any other CSU MSW Program. I know several placements that wills not consider nor accept Dominguez Hills MSW students for internships. CSU Los Angeles, Long Beach, Northridge and Fullerton offer a more varied program. I was not able to chose any electives at Dominguez Hills, nor were we allowed to register for the professor of our choice. The only thing worse than the academics at Dominguez Hills is the administration. They have... Read More no clue what they are doing.. .I was a student for two years and had five different academic advisers...None of whom I ever met. I'm still not certain what their function was. They are not able to retain any staff. These random professors would pop up a few days prior to enrollment who have never taught at the university previously, or taught anyplace else. But, no matter as we weren't allowed to chose the professors we wanted to take anyhow. If you have a really low GPA and low or no GRE this school is for you! I was accepted into Dominguez Hills MSW Program with a 2.2 GPA and no GRE score. This is why their reputation is so poor. ..They will take the other school's rejects. They don't tell you this part either: If you sign up for their part time program- you cannot use any state grant money or active undergrad grants --even if you qualify. It is the schools way of earning more money for themselves...and forces students to building-up more and more student debt. This My first job offer after graduation was for $3,000 more than I have been making at my current place of employment. Two years and $25,000 later --not a good decision. Weigh your options. CSU Long Beach and Los Angeles are both top schools for MSW degree in CA and both are reasonable. University of Phoenix or other online option would likely provide a more enriching experience than this university- if you can even call it that. It was more like a run-down community without the charm. They began construction and moved us to other non-classroom areas of the university for our courses. You can try complaining like I did...But these people are not their to work with you, assist or support you. They are there to get their pay check and go home... This will become evident after a few months if you "end up" at this school. Everyone in my MSW program was at Dominguez Hills because they were not accepted at any other CA State school. Nobody wanted to be there- which I think says a lot.

My undergraduate experience was absolutely amazing. I was very active on campus as I works and volunteered for various programs. I also help several job position titles throughout my time on campus. It allowed for me to view education from a different lens. My number one tip to student going through their undergrad experience is to make those connections with professors and faulty as they may be able to write recommendation letter for you potentially. Ensure that you are truly passionate about the major you... Read More are studying, too. One thing that CSU Dominguez Hills does a great job of is providing resources to their students. Whether that be helping a student establish an internship or exploring which major may be the best fit for them. When I went into the campus I was unsure of what I wanted to major in, so I went to the career center they aided me through a personality test to see what professions were ascribed to me. Although I could not necessarily choose of the options provided, I was able o see the theme of the options selected. I knew that I wanted to help people. An academic adviser then sat down with me to explore the various major programs applicable to me. That is essentially how I chose Sociology as my major. I was advised to take the introduction course which I did and fell in love with the content of the course. I am grateful of the faculty and staff I encountered along the way. One of my professors wrote me an astounding letter for my graduate program. Take advantage of your time in undergrad and explore what your true passion is.
