For admission into the Nursing Department programs, most applicants are required to take the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS), which is a scholastic aptitude test that is used as one component of the selection process for admission of students into the post-secondary Nursing programs at California State University, East Bay.

• Reading — This subtest covers paragraph comprehension, passage comprehension, and inferences/conclusions.
• English — This subtest measures knowledge of punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, contextual words, and spelling.
• Science — This subtest covers science reasoning, science knowledge, biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, basic physical principals, and general science.
