GWC Nursing is hosting a BSN Concurrent Enrollment Pathway (CEP) program with CSUSB at Golden West College.
The CEP program is a six (6) full-time semester program for qualified participants who have applied for admission to the CEP and have met all CEP program eligibility requirements. A CEP applicant agrees to be dually enrolled in the Golden West College (GWC) ADN (Registered Nurse) program and CSU to complete simultaneous coursework for each higher education institution. CEP students must complete the GWC ADN (RN (Registered Nurse)) nursing coursework in the traditional ADN (RN) pathway. The graduate from the GWC School of Nursing CEP will earn an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing and is eligible to apply for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) for licensure as a Registered Nurse in the State of California.
Students applying to the School of Nursing (SON) must meet all eligibility, general education, and prerequisite requirements completed at the time of application. General education courses must be CSU certified prior to being considered for the program. The applicant is responsible for ensuring that ALL official up-to-date transcripts and other necessary documentation have been received by Golden West College at the time of application.
