The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree provides registered nurses with academic and workforce pathways to higher-level positions, including entry into leadership and management. A BSN also provides individuals with an academic pathway into master’s and doctoral nursing programs.
The program is designed for currently licensed registered nurses who have completed an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing (ADN). The curriculum complements the coursework and clinical experiences of the ADN, providing a seamless and efficient pathway for BSN students.
BSN courses are offered online, allowing students to move through the program at a pace determined by the student. Candidates must receive their BSN within four years of beginning the core nursing courses (NURXXXX). Courses are offered through the Division of Healthcare Professions located at the Ghazvini Center for Healthcare Education (GCHE).
