Student walking through Saunders Court

The UCSF School of Nursing is seeking anonymous feedback through a brief survey on the proposed tuition and fees for the new BSN Entry to DNP pathway. Your feedback is very important to us.  This survey will close at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. 

Our proposed annual tuition and campus fee levels for California residents for the BSN Entry to DNP pathway are: 

  • $42,199 for 2024-25 
  • $43,605 for 2025-26 (a 3.3% increase) 
  • $45,078 for 2026-27 (a 3.4% increase) 


The proposed tuition and fees is comprised of state tuition, the Professional Degree Supplemental Tuition (PDST), and campus fees. For the 2024-25 year, we anticipate state tuition and UC-systemwide fees of $18,350, PDST of $23,052, and campus-based fees of $797. One third of the PDST portion of the tuition is allocated to financial aid for our nursing students; the remainder of the PDST supports instruction (faculty salaries, clinical instruction, educational technology) and the student experience (advising, academic success and well-being).
