CSUMB ADN-to-BSN Pathway
The Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a collaborative, dual-enrollment program between CSUMB and community college partners that facilitates seamless academic progression to a BSN degree.
Students must be enrolled in the ADN program at their community college and successfully complete the first and second ADN semesters before starting the first CSUMB summer session. Collaborative program students who successfully meet the CSUMB program requirements can apply and be matriculated into CSUMB upon graduation from the ADN. This collaboration enables the ADN student to earn a BSN degree in 2 semesters after graduating from their community college.
SJSU ADN-to-BSN Pathway
Rural Concurrent Enrollment Program (Rural CEP)
This program is designed to support students living in rural areas of California in
earning their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) without having to leave their communities.
The Rural CEP program is primarily offered online, with a required in-person clinical experience during the final fall semester. This clinical will take place in students local areas and will make graduates eligible for the Public Health Nurse (PHN) certificate.
