• Why a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing?
  • The need for registered nurses is strong and growing, and encouraged in part by an Institute of Medicine landmark report on The Future of Nursing, which called for increasing the number of nurses with bachelor’s degrees in the workforce to 80% and doubling the population nurses with doctorates.
  • A BSN prepares registered nurses to assume greater responsibility in today’s complex healthcare environment.
  • Students develop critical thinking, communication, and therapeutic nursing skills within the framework of multicultural nursing.
  • Graduates of the program are prepared to manage the nursing care of a culturally diverse population in a variety of settings.
  • Accredited by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN), Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), and American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN).
