During the application process, students may apply for either a full- or part-time track in pursuit of a BSN. The full-time track is for students who prefer to continue in the academic setting at a full-time pace which is >12 credits per semester. Degree completion in the full-time track can typically be achieved in 5 semesters, including summers.
Pre-Licensure BSN Program - Part-Time Track

During the application process, students may apply for either a full- or part-time track in pursuit of a BSN. The part-time track is for students who prefer to take courses at a part-time rate, typically 6-9 credits per semester where classes are offered primarily on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Degree completion in the part-time track can typically be achieved in 10 semesters, including summers.
