The R.N. to B.S.N. program provides career mobility for the registered nurse. A substantial background in the liberal arts is an integral part of preparation for professional nursing.

The upper-division curriculum blends scientific and humanistic theories with nursing theories to provide graduates with a foundation for professional nursing practice.

Graduates are prepared to practice in primary, secondary, and tertiary care settings in a variety of roles. Through enhanced knowledge and skills, graduates are able to lead and influence colleagues and coworkers, and provide patient-centered nursing care with a broader world-view.

The bachelor's degree program is designed to provide a foundation for higher degree programs in nursing. The curriculum was designed so that nurses who are working can complete the program while employed. In response to requests from our regional healthcare community, the R.N.to B.S.N. curriculum is offered in distance format (online).

Graduates of the R.N. to B.S.N. program are awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
