Health Sciences & Nursing community-college programs in California

If you are choosing a Health Sciences & Nursing program in California, weigh program-specific accreditation, clinical or apprenticeship placement, and the institution's articulation agreements with California public universities (for transfer-bound students) or its local employer relationships (for occupational tracks). Within California published tuition tends to fall in a tight range, so the program-quality questions usually matter more than cost. The ranked list below is a useful starting point but should not substitute for a campus visit and a conversation with the program advisor.

Each college below links to a full profile with cost, enrollment, completion, and transfer numbers from the College Scorecard. Use the cost-and-aid guide for California and the state's transfer-outcomes guide for additional context.
