RN to BSN/CEP

Program Description

The RN to BSN program is designed for current CA-licensed Registered Nurses wishing to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The RN to BSN program admits students for Fall semester each year. Applications are accepted throughout the calendar year, with the application deadline of June 15th for the same year's Fall admission. 

The CSUSB RN to BSN hybrid program provides an opportunity to earn the BSN with a combination of online and traditional classroom instruction, allowing face-to-face interaction with a faculty member during four out of 15 semester weeks. 

Students are expected to log on to the learning management system and participate in course discussions during online activities. There are two clinical rotations in the program that requires students to attend pre-arranged community or hospital agencies. Before being able to complete this learning activity, students must demonstrate compliance with the nursing department requirements.
