1. Our Nursing programs at CSU San Marcos are either offered through the School of Nursing or through Extended Learning.  All nursing courses are taught by the School of Nursing faculty, yet administration of the degree programs differs according to whether the program is offered via State-support tuition (the School of Nursing programs) or via self-support (the Extended Learning Nursing programs).  The degree issued by the University (a BSN or MSN degree) is the same whether the student has completed a program administered through the School of Nursing or through Extended Learning.
