The RN-to-BSN program enables registered nurses to make the transition to professional nursing with a baccalaureate degree in three consecutive semesters. The associate degree nurse can complete their bachelor's degree starting in the summer and finishing their nursing courses by the next spring. Prerequisite courses must be completed prior to admission to this track. Courses are delivered in a hybrid fashion allowing the student to take part of the course through the web, and part of the course through on-site instruction. Clinical components of this track allow the student to essentially complete their clinical experiences in their hometown.
Required RN-BSN Accelerated Courses Through Articulation (Nursing Courses completed in three semesters one day per week).
