Traditional BSN
Are you looking to become a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor's Degree? If so, this is the program for you!
Our Traditional BSN program is a 2+2 program. This means that you first must complete two years (63 hours) of pre-requisites at a Community College, College, or University of your choice. Once you have completed these pre-requisites or almost completed them, you would apply for our School of Nursing.
If accepted, you would start the program at the end of May, and continue through the program for two years. Upon completion of the Traditional BSN program, you will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, and take your NCLEX exam to earn your RN license.
About the Program
The Traditional BSN program involves challenging and rewarding learning experiences that reflect the standars of professional nursing practice and prepares graduates for professional leadership careers in a variety of health care settings. The faculty is committed to educational excellence, clinical expertise, professional development and community service.
At the completion of the program, BSN graduates are eligible to take the state board examination licensure as a registered nurse. The BSN degree prepares the graduate for entrance into graduate study in nursing at the master's degree level.
Program Hours
The Traditional BSN program requires a minimum of 126 semester hours for completion. Students are admitted to the upper division nursing major after completing a total of 63 semester hours in prerequisite course work in the social and behavioral sciences, the natural and physical sciences and the arts and humanities.
