Hello all! I graduated from CSULB at the beginning of summer with a bachelor's in computer science, and am considering pursuing a masters degree! I just have a few hangups that maybe you guys can help me out with. Either people who have already completed a masters program, are doing one now, or just happen to know more than me.

Some of my big questions include:

- Is the tuition for a masters program as much as a regular school semester? Do financial aid programs, such as cal-grant or FAFSA, help with tuition if you qualify?

- I searched up the procedures to apply for a Masters program, but am still relatively in the dark about it. What are some tips or pieces of advice for properly applying?

If I can get these things figured out, then I'd be more than happy to apply for the next fall semester. Thank you all!
