At any time, you may check your application status by calling (310) 243-3645 or via MyCSUDH. Because the application process takes about six to eight weeks, it is strongly suggested that you check your application status three to four weeks after submission to ensure that your materials are being processed. Contact the University Advising Center at BSNge@csudh.edu should you have questions regarding G.E. courses. Be sure to indicate that you are a Nursing student, as there are some Nursing courses that count toward G.E. units.

Any college-level Chemistry course which is transferrable to the CSU is acceptable for our program. If the Chemistry course has a corresponding lab, then the lab must also be taken. However, if the Chemistry course does not have a corresponding lab, then no lab is necessary.
Statistics may be lower or upper-division but must include inferential and descriptive statistics.
Advanced Placement credit is accepted for both Chemistry and Statistics. Official College Board scores must be submitted to Admissions for credit.
No. Applicants do not need to have their RN license before starting the RN-BSN program. Applicants must have graduated from their ADN program before starting the RN-BSN program but students may start the program while waiting to take NCLEX. Please note, students must have their RN license before they are eligible for the BSN 423 clinical course.
If a student is having difficulty passing the NCLEX after having been admitted into the program, they will want to reach out to the BSN Coordinator, Dr. Cathy Andrade candrade@csudh.edu for advising.
The RN-BSN program is not cohorted. Therefore, time to degree is dependent on how many courses a student takes per semester and how many semesters a student takes to complete all the courses in their degree. Students must attend the RN-BSN program for at least 2 semesters. We have example study plans on the Curriculum page which will help students plan their time to degree.
Students may request BSN advisement by emailing BSNmajoradvising@csudh.edu.
Our program is delivered asynchronously online via Blackboard with two exceptions:
