PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Check campus-specific timing, the stated 3.0 prerequisite GPA and minimum course grades against the current application guide.
Your complete timeline
OHSU lists the three-year route at Ashland, Klamath Falls, La Grande, Monmouth and Portland. The reviewed page describes 28 prerequisite quarter credits before application, with timing varying by campus. Ask for a term-by-term plan that includes prerequisites, transfer decisions and application timing.
Plan around the schedule
Plan for in-person study and clinical attendance at your selected campus; do not assume every clinical placement is local.
Application and selection
Check campus-specific timing, the stated 3.0 prerequisite GPA and minimum course grades against the current application guide. Apply through the provider’s program-specific process and confirm the next cohort before paying fees.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
Which prerequisites must be complete when I apply to my chosen campus, and where would clinical placements occur?
- What is included in the written price, and what would I pay separately?
- What support is available if my work schedule, disability accommodations or family responsibilities affect attendance?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
The nursing degree and authorization to practice are separate. Confirm graduation, NCLEX-RN and state licensing steps before assuming you can start work as an RN.
Cost and outcomes
Published tuition rate; full budget varies
The reviewed program page lists $450 per credit for Oregon residents and $827 for nonresidents. Ask which academic year and courses the rates cover. Prerequisites, fees, clinical requirements, travel and living expenses are additional; request the campus-specific cost-of-attendance estimate. Do not multiply these rates by an assumed credit total.

It is not directly comparable with Census outcomes because the population and dollar year differ.
