CSUSB Department of Nursing
Department Chair's Welcome
Dear Students, Colleagues, and Friends,
Welcome to the CSUSB Department of Nursing website! We are delighted that you are exploring our programs and learning more about our commitment to excellence in nursing education.
For decades, the Department of Nursing has been preparing compassionate, highly skilled nurses and healthcare leaders who make a meaningful impact in their communities. We offer a variety of innovative programs designed to meet the needs of students at every stage of their professional journey, including the in-person Pre-Licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), the online RN-to-BSN program, the hybrid Concurrent Enrollment Programs (CEP), the online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program, and the hybrid Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) program. While many of our programs are delivered online or in hybrid formats, students also benefit from essential hands-on clinical and experiential learning opportunities that prepare them for professional practice.
At CSUSB, we are committed to preparing nurses who will lead and shape the future of healthcare. As the healthcare landscape evolves, so does our curriculum, ensuring our graduates are equipped to tackle the challenges of tomorrow, whether in individual patient care or broader public health initiatives.
I invite you to explore our programs, meet our faculty and discovery multiple career pathways that the nursing profession can offer.
