California State University San Marcos is expanding its popular two-year nursing program with new groups of students starting in the fall, spring and summer.

The 24-month Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing is designed for students who hold a degree in a discipline outside of nursing. Upon completion of the program, students will be awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

The fall program will accept one group of students, or cohort, in Temecula, the spring program will accept one cohort in San Marcos, and the summer program will admit one cohort in Temecula. Applications received now will be considered for admission into all planned cohorts.

The university is scheduling a free information program on Friday, from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Room 101 of the Foundation Classroom Building.
