Students will have flexibility for entering the Program at different times of the year. Core nursing courses will be offered throughout the year and the student may enter at any point in time by enrolling with the University and with the School of Nursing. As a student for the RN-to-BSN Program, you must supply specific information to enroll in the Program. This information should be submitted at least two weeks before the beginning of any semester in order to process the data and ensure placement into the courses that you select.
Because of the nature of the RN-to-BSN Program, the student must verify work experience as a registered nurse. New graduates may apply if employed at least 20 hours per week as a registered nurse. Class discussion is enriched by the diverse expertise of the students at this level of your education. New graduates who have not yet received their license may also apply, but will take non-nursing courses until the licensure process is completed. (See Curriculum Plan for non-nursing courses associated with this degree.)
The admissions process is as follows:
1. Application to the University
