Choosing a nursing program is about more than earning a degree. It's about finding a community that supports you every step of the way.

Here's what one of our Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) students had to say:

"I feel a real true sense of family here... Though it's a big school, you do feel supported here, and I just couldn't be more happy with this program."

From dedicated faculty mentors to a supportive learning environment, our ABSN program is designed to help students succeed in the classroom, in clinicals, and beyond.

She was worried online college would feel isolating. It didn’t.

Meet Aliyah Prelow — a first-gen graduate on her way to a master’s degree. She was worried the online format might feel isolating. It didn’t.

“It feels like one family,” Prelow said. “You would think, you’re online, there’s no relationships formed, but I’ve made a lot of friends.”

Despite an intense pace and heavy course loads, Prelow graduated this spring with Dean's List honors. She has been accepted into CSUSM’s online Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology program, starting this fall.
