Bachelor of Science in Nursing - BSN

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree (BSN) program is designed to develop expertise necessary for nurses in the rapidly changing health care field. Faculty are well qualified and are committed to teaching students how to be excellent nurses. Their goal is to assist each individual student to reach their maximum potential, and to prepare each student for the licensing examination (NCLEX) which each graduate takes upon completion of the BSN Degree in order to become a Registered Nurse.

The Bachelor of Science (BSN) program, offers many career opportunities. The graduate may choose to work in a variety of positions and in areas such as community health, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, oncology, surgery, geriatrics, recovery room, and intensive care or critical care. The BSN prepared nurse is qualified to function in situations which are complex and require self-direction.

A BSN Degree can be earned in approximately four and a half years – four semesters are needed to complete General Studies courses for the BSN program and five semesters are spent taking nursing courses. Troy University offers the BSN program on both the Troy and Dothan campuses. Students are accepted for admission to the BSN program in the Spring and Fall terms on the Troy and Dothan campuses. Deadlines for receipt of BSN applications are March 15 for fall and September 15 for spring. Admission is competitive. Due to limited enrollment, all students who meet minimum requirements may not be admitted. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, the student is awarded the BSN degree and may then apply to the Alabama Board of Nursing to take the licensing exam to become a Registered Nurse (RN).
