ASA College’s proposed Bachelor of Science program in RN to BSN is intended for students wanting to advance their careers within the nursing profession. There are many opportunities for nurses with experience and a BSN degree. Traditionally a field that provided a constant number of nursing career opportunities, health care is now growing at an unprecedented rate. Driven by technological developments, rapid advancements in disease prevention and health promotion, increased public awareness of health concerns, and a booming, aging population, this field offers you a wide variety of job openings, ranging from traditional but expanded patient care to health care administration.

The RN to BSN is based upon a learner-centered instructional approach and builds upon your prior learning. The program reduces unnecessary repetition to minimize your investment of time and money. It is designed expressly for associate degree RNs who want to further their educational growth and development. The RN to BSN program is taught one class at a time and each class is five weeks long and utilizes the Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS). This makes the program uniquely flexible to practicing Registered Nurses with full-time employment commitments.

Currently, ASA College accepts successful performance on applicable subjects on CLEP or DANTE exams for transfer credits. This transfer credit policy for traditional/residential programs at ASA College will also be applicable to programs offered in this modality. We will accept a total of 90 credits – 60 credits for courses completed at the associate level with specific required courses in general education/arts and sciences and nursing prerequisites from a regionally accredited college with a grade of C or greater and 30 credits for a valid RN license. (Acceptable courses in the general education/ liberal arts and nursing prerequisites are listed in the course breakdown section below). ASA College does not accept transfer credits for any other types of exams.
