Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ADN-BSN)

College of Health & Social Sciences

The ADN-BSN Program is a collaborative model for academic progression in Nursing between SF State School of Nursing and designated California Community College (CCC) partners. The current partners are College of San Mateo and City College of San Francisco. This program is designed for students who meet University general education and community partner degree requirements to earn both ADN and BSN degrees in two and a half years through full-time study. Admission to this program is concurrent with the admission to the Associate Degree Nursing Program (ADN) at the College of San Mateo and City College of San Francisco (CCSF).

Applicants to the ADN-BSN program MUST be an incoming ADN student of CSM/CCSF.  Alumni of the CSM/CCSF ADN program will be considered base on space availability.
