Program Description

The Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing is designed for students who are licensed registered nurses but do not hold a baccalaureate degree. Students enrolled in the last semester of an accredited associate degree nursing program, diploma-granting nursing school, or an associate degree program affiliated with an accredited diploma-granting nursing school that prepares students for licensure as registered nurses may apply; however, acceptance into the RN to BS program is contingent upon successful program completion and graduation.

The RN to BS program builds upon prior learning, broadens studies in liberal arts and sciences, provides essential courses for career advancement, and offers elective learning opportunities in areas of interest. Courses focused on health promotion, leadership, management, research, community health, and professional issues, as well as elective focus areas, prepare graduates for new professional opportunities and expanded roles. Our dedicated and experienced faculty work with full-time and part-time students in many aspects of academic life such as coursework, including classroom, clinical, simulation, and laboratory experiences in professional settings.
