Accelerated BSN

Spring 2012 cohorts are now full!

 We currently have cohorts planned for Fall 2012 and Spring 2013. The Fall program will accept one cohort in Temecula the Spring program will accept one cohort in Temecula & one cohort in San Marcos. Applications received now will be considered for admission into all planned cohorts.

A cohort is a group of students who work through a curriculum together to achieve the same academic degree. Because they are accepted into the same program, take their classes together, and graduate together, students in cohorts tend to form a strong support system and professional network that benefit them during their degree program and beyond.

Train for a new career in Nursing  

Thanks to a generous grant funded by the Kaiser Foundation, Cal State San Marcos School of Nursing and Extended Learning have partnered to offer this innovative program.We are pleased to offer our Accelerated BSN program to help fulfill the healthcare needs in our region.

This fast-paced, 24-month "Additional Bachelor's Degree" program is designed for students who hold a degree in a discipline outside of Nursing and who have not completed any LVN or RN coursework.  Students will complete approximately 78 semester units of study in both didactic and clinical coursework. 

Upon completion of the program, students will be awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing from California State University San Marcos.  Completion of the degree program enables individuals to sit for the NCLEX examination for RN licensure.
