NURSING, B.S.N.
RN to BSN Track: The RN-BSN program is designed for registered nurses with an associate's degree or diploma in nursing. The RN-BSN track offers the flexibility of completing coursework in as little as three semesters full-time or at a slower part-time option. All theory nursing courses for the RN are online with a BSN capstone requirement in the last semester. The program admits twice a year (fall and spring). The School of Nursing application deadline is June 1 for fall semester and November 1 for spring semester.
We offer a full range of nursing programs, from the traditional baccalaureate to an accelerated BSN program for those with a bachelor's degree in another field. An RN-to-BSN option is available for licensed nurses. We offer a streamlined pathway to a BSN in collaboration with Cuyahoga Community College.
