Bachelor of Science in Nursing Application Guide

The Bachelor of Science: Nursing Community College Collaborative (BSNCCC) is a unique pathway that allows students to complete their BSN degree through a community college consortium partnership. The colleges within this consortium are Linn-Benton Community College (LBCC), Chemeketa Community College (CCC), Oregon Coast Community College (OCCC), Central Oregon Community College (COCC), Treasure Valley Community College (TVCC), and Klamath Community College (KCC). This program increases access to the BSN for rural and place-bound students by blending online coursework with local academic support.

The community colleges of the BSNCCC are proud to participate in this innovative statewide collaboration designed to improve workforce preparation and educational attainment for nurses in Oregon. Visit Nursing to view the BSNCCC program map and see required coursework.

Seven students will be awarded admission into the BSNCCC through a lottery-based selection process into each of the six colleges for a total cohort of 42 students.
