California State University Channel Islands and Cottage Health Systems offer two tracks toward a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. Track I operates through our Goleta campus in Santa Barbara County. Track II operates through our Camarillo, CA main campus. Both programs teach students to seek solutions to societal health needs and problems, understand demographics and disparities in healthcare, ethical concerns and global perspectives in the practice of professional nursing at the generalist level.
