Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Prelicensure)

San Francisco State University

The School of Nursing offers prelicensure (RN) bachelor’s degree programs at the San Francisco campus and in the Peninsula/SF State Baccalaureate Nursing Program at the College of San Mateo. The Peninsula/SF State Baccalaureate Nursing program is an accelerated four-semester program that includes the summer session. It is offered through the College of Extended Learning at SF State and is supported by San Mateo Community College District, Sequoia Hospital and the CSU. The course of study is the same for both sites. Students are encouraged to explore the specific requirements on the School of Nursing website as they may vary from year to year. Applicants to the baccalaureate nursing program may be current students at SF State, transfers, or second baccalaureates. As freshmen applicants are not admitted to the university as nursing majors, students can be admitted as Pre-nursing or to an alternate major. The Pre-nursing designation does not guarantee admission to the nursing major students with the Pre-nursing designation must seek advising from the Student Resource Center in the College of Health and Social Sciences. All students applying to the nursing program must meet the minimum University requirements (see earlier sections of the Bulletin) and satisfy specific prerequisites for the program.
