Prerequisites & Admission Requirements
12 published requirements for this program, each quoted from California State University, East Bay’s own admissions pages and checked by our verifier. Requirements are grouped by who they apply to — check the heading before assuming one applies to you.
Every requirement below carries the date we last checked it and a link to the page we read — open any row to see the school’s own words.
Meeting these does not guarantee admission. Many California nursing programs receive far more qualified applicants than they have seats and rank or score those who qualify. Treat this as the floor to be considered, not a prediction.
