Traditional Baccalaureate (BSN)

Our Traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program prepares graduates for entry-level professional nursing practice in both hospital and community-based settings. We have variations of our traditional program curriculum that help meet the needs of students with various interests, including a pre-med nursing curriculum, ROTC and study abroad opportunities.

Paths to a Traditional BSN Degree

Traditional Nursing Path

The four-year BSN curriculum is designed for a beginning transfer or college student. Students who prefer a slower pace or want to take additional courses have the option of completing the program in five years.
