The RN to BSN degree requires 30 semester hours of nursing courses to be completed in as few as two semesters. However, if a slower pace is desired, take up to 6 semesters to complete the degree. We will work with you to design a degree program based on course offerings. An applicant will be awarded 30 semester hours for their completed Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN). Field of study and core complete courses will be accepted toward meeting the required 60 prerequisite credits. These courses must be completed before beginning the RN to BSN program.
