Nursing: RN/BSN*: Recommended Two-Year Upper Level (Junior-Senior) Plan

The RN to BSN Program is designed for students who have completed an Associate of Science Degree or Diploma in Nursing and are licensed as a registered nurse.  This program awards the Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

The recommended two-year plan is designed to provide a blueprint for students to complete their degrees within two years. These plans are the recommended sequences of courses. Students must meet with their Major Advisor to develop a more individualized plan to complete their degree.  This plan assumes that students have already completed the first 2 years of study and that no developmental courses are required.  If developmental courses are needed, students may have additional requirements to fulfill which are not listed in the plan. Specific articulation agreements will result in differing requirements.

NOTE: This recommended Four-Year Plan is applicable to students admitted into the major during the 2023-2024 academic year. This plan is the recommended sequence of courses, and may differ depending on a student’s transfer credits.
