The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program merges the natural, social, behavioral, and nursing sciences with the humanities and arts. Students have the opportunity to provide care for individuals, families, and communities in a variety of urban, rural, and culturally diverse settings. The program prepares graduates to function as leaders and innovators in nursing practice. Graduates are eligible to take the National Licensing Examination (NCLEX-RN) for licensure and have the credentials to apply to graduate school if desired.

The Registered Nurse to BSN program builds on the knowledge and skills registered nurses have acquired through a diploma or associate degree program. It is designed to enable students to move into a wider array of practice and leadership roles, and be prepared for admission to graduate school. Courses are delivered over the World Wide Web. Clinical projects and advanced clinical experiences are completed in student's local communities so registered nurses essentially can complete the B.S.N. degree in their hometowns.
