The RN
nursing courses begin in the first summer session (mid-May).
Admission to the program occurs in the spring.
Prerequisites may be finished during the spring semester prior
to beginning the nursing sequence.
Once the baccalaureate requirements are met, the BSN degree is
awarded and the student progresses in the
Masters program in their
specialty of choice.
Both a Full-time and a Part-time Option are available for
individuals looking to complete the RN to MSN Sequence.
The prerequisite coursework is the same for both the full-time
and part-time options. Select the option below that suits
your schedule to see the curriculum outline for that option.
