Nursing Programs
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program offers a creative curriculum to
prepare future nurses to meet the current and future health needs of society.
The curriculum prepares graduates to function as practitioners in acute and long-
term care, community settings, home care, and other non-traditional settings as
well as provides a foundation for leadership positions and graduate study.
RN to B.S.N. Completion Program
The RN-B.S.N. mobility program has been developed to address the specific needs
of working registered nurses who return to the university to earn the Bachelor

are offered onsite in the classroom or students may select the online option
