Getting in
What California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt asks for, taken from its own admissions page.
No pre-licensure BSN: Cal Poly Humboldt offers only a part-time RN to BSN (and an ADN-to-BSN concurrent enrollment option with North Coast community colleges). Catalog listing (https://catalog.humboldt.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=14&poid=8398) requires an ADN from a regionally accredited program or enrollment in the concurrent program, an active unrestricted California RN license, cumulative GPA 2.75, and the eight CSU systemwide nursing prerequisites with C or better; about 25 students per cohort, roughly 21 months. Applications go through Cal State Apply for fall; catalog page returned empty on fetch so figures come from its search listing.
Checked Oct 2026 on the school's site. Requirements change each cycle, so confirm before you apply.
