The Concurrent Enrollment Program is for Clark College and Lower Columbia College nursing students who want to earn a BSN degree. The CEP lets you take RN to BSN courses during summers while completing your associate nursing degree. This option helps provide a seamless transition between your community college and WSU.
FAQs
