3. Two years of high school math (algebra or geometry). A math placement test is required unless it is waived by an SAT 1 math score of 540+ or ACT math score of 23+. The College Algebra course requirement is waived by a SAT 1 math score of 600+ or an ACT math score of 26+, but does not grant credit for the course.

4. Students with a verbal SAT 1 score be low 580 must take a writing placement test in English during registration. SAT 1 verbal score does not waive Freshman Writing Seminar requirement. An AP English score of 3 or better waives the Freshman Writing Seminar course.

CSULB: http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/chhs/departments/nursing/docs/under/Pre-Nursing_Information.doc

•Prerequisite Courses are the following: Chem. 202/Organic Chemistry and Chem. 302/Biochemistry (or a combined 5 unit Integrated Chemistry Course/Chem 140), Bio 207/Physiology, Bio 208/Anatomy, Micro 200, Quantitative Reasoning, Oral Communication, College Composition, and Critical Thinking course.

All this information was easily found on the school's nursing page. As far as accelerated BSN, I'm not too familiar with how other schools do it.. but the program I went through, accelerated meant we just went to summer school.

[faith love hope]

Some accelerated programs are second degree BSN program where students already have a first bachelor's degree in another field.

CSU-San Bernardino, CSU-LA, CSU-San Marcos, San Diego State, and CSU Fullerton also have nursing programs.....there's probably other private schools also but I didn't research any of them so I don't know much about them.....Accelerated BSN is a program where you do only nursing classes for your BSN after you've already completed a BS/BA in another major....you still have to do the pre-req's.....at my school (CSU-San Marcos) the accelerated program finishes in about 18 months whereas the generic program is 3 years

I 've taken a stastics course at UC Irvine. Is it transferrable to any CSU?

I applied the ABSN at CSU San Marcos. Haven't heard anything back yet, i'm worried.
