CSin3 Application

CSin3 is a unique program offered in partnership between Hartnell College and California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB), which provides a pathway and support structure for students to earn a bachelor’s degree in compute science in three years. Half of the coursework is completed at Hartnell and the other half at CSUMB and students have access to resources at both institutions all three years. This rigorous program requires students to commit to year-round participation. CSin3 graduates are not only strong academically, but are well-rounded individuals prepared to take on a career or graduate school. Students are provided with an abundance of resources including tutoring, cohort enrichment workshops, professional development workshops, priority registration, scholarship support, and much more!
