RN to BSN Program Details

A special curriculum is available for Registered Nurses (RNs) desiring to complete requirements for a baccalaureate degree with a major in nursing. The curriculum is designed to accommodate RNs who are employed and/or involved with family, community, and other responsibilities and offered via a web-enhanced format.

The RN to BSN track of the undergraduate program builds upon a core curriculum foundation in liberal arts, basic and applied sciences, and behavioral and social sciences. An applicant is one who has:

-Graduated from an associate degree or diploma program
-Passed the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX)

The track may be completed as quickly as three semesters (fall-spring-summer), and part-time options are available. Most of the coursework is web-based. Our students visit the Radford campus approximately twice per semester for orientation, presentations, and group projects with the remainder of lectures, discussions, assignments, and tests online.
