Program of Study

The RN-to-BSN program requires successful completion of 66 hours of prerequisite and core courses and 27 hours of nursing course work. The remaining 27 hours are awarded as credit by merit of RN licensure.

The following nursing courses are required to be completed with a grade of C or higher in each course. A grade of D or F in any two clinical courses or any clinical course twice deems the student ineligible to continue in the nursing major. A grade of D or F in any two non-clinical courses or in the same non-clinical course twice will deem the student ineligible to continue in the nursing major.

Clinical experiences will be arranged by the student at their preferred location as long as a clinical contract is in place prior to the start of the clinical experience.
