Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN)

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.)
