Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Bachelors)
Cal State Dominguez Hills
Carson, CA
The BSN program prepares registered nurses as generalists in professional nursing practice. Graduates are equipped to function as leaders, managers, and resource persons in a variety of healthcare settings. Critical thinking and decision-making are informed through both general and discipline-specific education.
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Online) curriculum is for registered nurses who are adult learners whose time, lifestyles or work schedules make it difficult to complete a traditional course of study in residence on a campus. Most BSN courses are offered online* to deliver the curriculum wherever and whenever the student is ready to learn. The courses must be completed within the semester, but students have the flexibility of accessing the courses at the time and place most convenient to them for completing assignments by the due dates.
*BSN 423 requires clinical hours at selected sites throughout California.
As a result of the Department of Education regulations for higher education and state education laws, the School of Nursing cannot deliver online education in all states. If you are an out-of-state resident or anticipate a move during your academic program, please contact the School of Nursing prior to submitting an application to discuss your situation.
