Biola University offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing which is
accredited by the California Board of Registered Nursing, and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The program is designed to prepare
graduates for a career in professional nursing. Graduates of licensed vocational, diploma and associate degree
nursing programs may be admitted as transfer students and evaluated individually.
Policies are available from the Nursing Department.
Clinical nursing experiences are provided with the cooperation of hospitals
and agencies throughout both Los Angeles and Orange counties. In compliance
with State Board regulations, the candidate will be eligible to take the examination
required by the Board of Registered Nursing for licensure as a registered nurse.
Upon graduation, application can be made for certification as a public health
nurse. Both acceptance to and continuation in the nursing major will be determined
by the student's preparation, performance and personal qualities, as assessed
by the faculty of the Department of Nursing.
