Student preparation for the College of Nursing is similar
among the four colleges and transfer programs. Students
graduate with a joint degree from both the college of
enrollment as well as from Washington State University.
Graduates participate in the campus graduation of one
and/or both colleges.
BSN graduates consistently achieve one of the highest
rates of passage of first-time candidates on the National
Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for
baccalaureate-prepared registered nurses in Washington
State. Graduates of undergraduate and graduate programs
are highly sought after for their excellence in nursing
practice.
