Welcome to the Graduate Nursing Student home page. For those of you making your first visit to this web site, thank you for your interest in the Master of Science in Nursing program at CSUB!

This is the most opportune time to pursue an advanced degree in nursing. At no other time in history has the nursing discipline so sorely needed nurses prepared with advanced degrees. There are untold personal and professional advantages an advanced degree offers including career opportunities in education, leadership and advanced practice roles.

This website will answer your questions concerning the various options we offer in our graduate nursing program. Currently there are three master’s options: Family Nurse Practitioner, School Nurse, and Clinical Nurse Leader. We also offer a post-master’s Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate program, and a post-master’s School Nurse Credential program. Information on each of these options can be found posted on these web pages.

In addition, you will find the Graduate Nursing Student Policy Handbook which includes vital information on departmental policies for those of you who are applying and already students in the graduate program. Important links to other campus services are provided for ease in accessing ancillary information.
