CSU Pre-Professor Program Information Session (For Spring 2027)

The session will provide an overview of the CSU PREPP program and application process. Materials and recordings will be shared with registrants after the event.

The Pre-Professor Program (PREPP) is designed to support the University of California, Irvine (UCI) doctoral students’ transition to a faculty position by engaging them in a semester-long program at a California State University (CSU) campus.In addition, PREPP is a blueprint to support CSU’s efforts to foster a pipeline for prospective new faculty. The goal of PREPP is to immerse participants in the life of a faculty member at a comprehensive master’s granting institution. PREPP fellows will have individual mentorship from an experienced Faculty Mentor in three broad categories: Instruction, Understanding the Campus Culture, and Service.

We accept applications from candidates with expertise in any discipline/department represented at CSU. Visit the CSU website to determine if your area of study is represented at a CSU.


For more information about this program please check the PREPP webpage.


The application deadline for Spring 2027 is Monday, November 2nd at 11:55 PM. 


A recording of the Spring 27 Info Session will be sent to all who register by the following week
