CSUN ADN to BSN Collaborative Program

 

 

The California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Associate of Science Degree in Nursing (ADN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Collaborative Program is a collaborative model for academic progression in Nursing that links CSUN with designated CA Community College (CC) partners. This collaborative enables the ADN student to earn a BSN degree in just over 2-1/2 years from starting the program. This enables the Nursing program to significantly increase access and capacity to advance more BSN prepared RNs into the nursing workforce.

First, you must be accepted into an ADN program at one of the participating Community Colleges. Once accepted, be sure to tell your CC counselor you are interested in being a part of the collaborative. You must be eligible for admission into CSUN and complete the CSU Mentor application by November 30th and have completed all of the pre-requisites by the start of classes.

Students who choose to complete an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing (ADN), formerly Associate of Arts, program must also complete general education requirements. Completion of the prescribed curriculum qualifies the graduate to apply for licensure by examination as a Registered Nurse in the State of California. This will also meet requirements to apply for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program with most CSU BSN Programs. For information concerning course planning, schedule a Counseling appointment.

Associate Degree requirements must be completed with a cumulative GPA 2.0 (C) or better. To apply for the Nursing program you MUST have a cumulative GPA 2.5 or better; along with an overall GPA of 2.5 in Human Anatomy, Human Physiology and Microbiology prerequisite courses.

Start by contacting your Community College ADN Program. CSUN Nursing representatives will also host information sessions at your CC. Find the contact information for each of ADN-BSN Collaborative Program staff below:
