BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING
RN-BSN Track
Program for Registered Nurses - RN to BSN
The College of Nursing offers a course of study for associate degree registered nurses (RN) to earn a baccalaureate degree in nursing. The program is designed for working nurses and can be completed in 5 semesters of primarily online part‐time study. RN to BSN students will earn 30 upper level credit hours based upon current RN licensure and by completion of a professional portfolio at the end of 3rd semester.
The baccalaureate prepared nurse is equipped to manage complex and changing healthcare environments of the future.
