The pre-licensure program consists of two components: the pre-nursing curriculum in which the student enrolls in the prerequisite courses for the nursing program and required GE; and the prelicensure curriculum (“nursing program”), in which the student is admitted on a competitive basis to take the courses required for R.N. licensure and complete requirements for the bachelor of science in nursing degree (BSN).

The prerequisite and lower division courses may be taken at either Sonoma State University or another university or community college.

For admission to the pre-licensure option of the BSN program, SSU students must submit a supplemental application to NursingCAS during the posted application period. Transfer students must submit an application to SSU and a supplemental application to NursingCAS.
