Introduction
Empower yourself to take on advanced roles in health care.
The online RN to BSN program is designed for the registered nurse, with a diploma or associate degree in nursing from an accredited program, who is interested in obtaining a bachelor’s degree in nursing.
The program also offers a pathway for continuing on to a master’s degree in nursing. You can take up to three graduate courses for a total of eight credits toward your Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). (Continuation in the graduate program is predicated on meeting graduate-program requirements and acceptance into the graduate nursing program.)
