Beach! The MSN program will be transitioning to BSN to DNP program Fall of 2023. Hence, the MSN program as well as the post-master's certificate programs will no longer be offered after Fall 2022. We have concluded the last admissions cycle for the MSN and post-master certificate programs Fall of 2022. The information session dates and time regarding the BSN to DNP Program will be posted on the School of Nursing website soon so please wait for further
information to be updated. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your interest in our nursing programs. We look forward to having you visit our campus. We hope that our website will provide answers to your questions. Cordially Yours, Notification to Nursing Students: Professional Licensure and Certification in other States or Territories CSULB programs for professions that required licensure or
certification are intended to prepare the student for California licensure and certification requirements. Admission into nursing programs that required licensure and certification does not guarantee that students will obtain licensure or a certificate. Licensure and certification requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with the California State University, and licensure and certification requirements can change at any time.

CSULB has not determined whether its nursing programs meet other states’ or territories’ educational or professional requirements for licensure and certification. Students planning to pursue licensure or certification in other states are responsible for determining whether, if they complete the CSULB program, they will meet their state’s or territory’s requirement for licensure. This disclosure is made pursuant to 34 CFR §668.43 (a(5)(v)(C).
The 2020-2021, graduates of the School of Nursing achieved 99.3% pass rate on the NCLEX-RN, a required examination for the licensure of nurses in the United States. Currently, the national first-time pass rate is 82.3%.
