RN to BSN

Step up your career in Nursing

The RN to BSN program at California State University San Marcos is a part-time program designed for the working RN. Upon completion of this program students will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN). The BSN degree allows individuals to assume leadership roles within the clinical setting and establishes a foundation for graduate-level studies. The program is designed for students who currently possess an ADN degree from a regionally accredited institution. 

The program is designed to fulfill the needs of the working RN. Classes are offered one-day per week and all course work required for degree completion may be completed within 6 academic terms. The program utilizes a cohort model, admitting 24 students per location every Fall Semester.  Students pursuing this program option may take classes at the main-campus, or via our satellite program at Scripps La Jolla.
