William Carey University at Baton Rouge General’s LPN Advanced Placement
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is designed to allow LPNs
to complete their BSN degree while balancing life with educational and
career goals. The program offers both full-time and part-time plans of
study, as well as two delivery formats:
Traditional Format
The program is available in an in-person format due to lab, clinical, and
preceptorship hours required for degree completion. However, there are
a few required courses in the curriculum and a few electives that are
delivered in an online or hybrid format.
Hybrid Format (LA Residents)
The hybrid program option is designed to allow completion of the BSN degree
without requiring relocation. Theory courses are taught using asynchronous
online lectures and assignments. Alternate geographical in-person clinical
sites possible (based on student enrollment).
The LPN Advanced Placement BSN program operates on a trimester system with
fall, winter, spring, and summer trimesters consisting of ten weeks. Admission
is competitive and acceptance to the university does not guarantee admission
to the nursing program.
Plan of Study
LPN AP students have the option to adjust their plan of study between full-time
and part-time as needed each term.
Full-Time Plan of Study
6 trimesters (18 months), if maintained for the duration of the program.
