Bachelor of Science Nursing-(ADN to BSN)
The ADN-to-BSN offers an opportunity for a registered nurse with an associate degree in nursing to obtain a baccalaureate degree in nursing. The track provides a seamless articulation to the baccalaureate degree.
The ADN-to-BSN track is designed for the student who has completed an initial course of study that has culminated in RN licensure. The ADN-to-BSN program builds on that foundation to prepare the student for a baccalaureate level of practice that emphasizes basic leadership skills, scholarship, evidence-based practice, and health prevention and promotion in a constantly changing healthcare environment. The graduate is prepared as a generalist with the clinical reasoning skills to care for individuals, families, populations and communities across the lifespan.
Admission requirements as outlined on the Nursing Program website.
