RN to BSN Program Details
If you are a Registered Nurse with a diploma or an Associate Degree in Nursing and want to complete a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing, we invite you to explore the North Dakota State University (NDSU) nursing program. We offer a curricular pathway tailored for the working RN.
NDSU nursing program provides an opportunity for nurses to earn a bachelor's degree primarily on-line. The sequence of nursing courses is six semesters (including summers) in length. The program requires time on campus during the summer sessions. Some general education courses must be completed prior to admission, other general education courses can be taken concurrently with the nursing courses. Some general education courses may not be available online.
