2010 Start Dates - RN-to-BSN Pathway

RN-to-BSN Pathway- Admission Requirements
The RN-to-B.S.N. pathway is designed for working RNs and provides for flexible course scheduling. To qualify for admission, applicants must have graduated from an accredited or state-approved associate degree or diploma program and hold a current unrestricted RN license. Applications must include official RN program transcripts.

The curriculum consists of 132 semester hours: 38 hours of required supporting courses, 55 hours of advanced placement nursing credit, and 39 hours of upper-division nursing courses. Students who do not successfully complete all requirements outlined under the traditional program are required to complete additional coursework in any area of deficiency as determined by the program director. Coursework can be completed through traditional courses or such alternative means as transfer credit; Independent Study courses; proficiency examinations; and prior learning credit for certificates, licenses or diplomas, noncollegiate or corporate instruction, experiential learning, and contract learning. Clinical courses can be completed in a convenient location provided that the available health care facilities can provide the clinical experiences necessary to successfully complete all learning outcomes. Program clinical preceptors supervise all clinical experiences. Clinical rotations and preceptors must be approved by the nursing program.
