Pathways into the B.S. Degree at OHSU for OCNE transition students
Pathways are available depending on the course delivery options (on campus or online) or by full time or part time status. Two transition pathways are available. Please see each option below to see which pathway will be right for you.
Pre-AAS Graduation Transfer to OHSU: Courses offered at Portland or Ashland Campuses: Spring Entry Only:
Students on this pathway would:
- Transfer from their Community College to OHSU in the spring term of their second year of nursing coursework. They would transfer before completing the AAS and would not yet be eligible for NCLEX.

- Finish the B.S. nursing courses in 4 quarters and have the summer off between the 2nd and third year.
