Nursing (RN-to-BSN)
Fast track your career with our affordable RN-to-BSN program. You’ll prepare for leadership roles in nursing or to further your expertise through our master’s program.
Our affordable, competency-based RN-to-BSN program recognizes the skills you’ve already learned as a registered nurse or student nurse. We are dedicated to helping you grow and deepen your knowledge to demonstrate competency and clinical judgment at the baccalaureate level.
You will prepare to move beyond direct care by gaining an understanding of financial considerations, staffing patterns, policy and advocacy through evidence-based practice and research, population-focused care and training in leadership and management.
