Bachelor of Science in Nursing for students with a non-nursing baccalaureate
This is an accelerated, program designed for students with an undergraduate degree in another field, who wish to become registered nurses and earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. It is designed for students from diverse academic and multicultural backgrounds who want a learning environment that is fast-paced, challenging, and clinically comprehensive.
This program allows for students with a non-nursing baccalaureate degree to receive credit for past academic work, and to focus on their nursing education so that a BSN and registered nurse licensure can be obtained with the student earning 65 credits in 16 months. Successful graduates of the Roadrunner program option would be eligible to take the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Exam (NCLEX) for licensure as a registered nurse (RN).
All prerequisite and requisite course work taken at other institutions will be evaluated in the School of Nursing.
