You may also attend one of our Informational Meetings. Date and times of meetings can be located on our nursing website under “Interested Student”. There are no meetings scheduled during the summer.

Eligibility

We no longer accept Introduction to Sociology as a nursing prerequisite. Sociology 321, Race, Ethnicity and Inequality has replaced Intro to Sociology as a prerequisite. The change went into effect in 2016.  If you have not already completed  Sociology 321  please review the CCCCO Distance Education website for acceptable course substitutions offered online at other California colleges.

For applicants with an Associate or Bachelor Degree please see the FAQ information regarding Sociology 321 exemption requirements.
