Bachelor
of Science: RN to BSN Online Completion Program Overview
The BSN program provides upper division opportunities
facilitating mobility of graduates
from Associate Degree and Diploma programs, allowing
them the opportunity to enhance
their education and career options. The primary goal is
to function in a variety of settings: providing care of
the sick in and across environments; participating in,
planning, implementing and evaluating activities and
programs to promote health; and facilitating
population-based health care. The program is designed to
build on the student’s knowledge and experience as a
registered nurse, enhancing skills in critical thinking,
case management, and leadership roles.
RN-to-BSN students in nursing must have proof of
graduation from a NLNAC accredited nursing program and
proof of current registered nurse licensure. Students
may choose to participate in a full-time or part-time
curriculum. Check the website for details at
