The curriculum covers theory, labs and clinical hours and is designed for non-traditional
students. Our structured yet attainable curriculum encourages academic success while
allowing for work-life-study balance. During the final semester of the program, students
focus on portfolio building and job interview preparation. CSU nursing program is
accredited by ACEN with a review in 2022-2023.
