Welcome to the BSN Academics Home!

California Northstate University’s direct entry BSN program is an intensive addition to the degree programs offered to advance the science and art of healthcare. Students can expect general education and nursing courses to prepare them to provide skilled, compassionate, and effective care. BSN graduates also qualify for the Public Health in Nursing certificate. 

The program is planned on a year-round basis with graduates completing their BSN degrees in 3 years.  CNU will accept students each term with rolling admissions per cohort cycle.  The first four terms are general education courses to provide students a strong academic foundation for the rigorous didactic and clinical components of the nursing core curriculum.
