Nursing Programs Offered

BSN Program Details

The College of Nursing provides course work leading to the Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN). The program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and the prelicensure tracks are fully approved by the Missouri State Board of Nursing. The undergraduate program offers two means for achieving the bachelor’s degree in nursing: studies that are preparatory for completion of the professional nurse licensure examination (pre-licensure track) and advanced placement for the professional registered nurse without repetition of fundamental nursing and clinical courses (RN/BSN track). An accelerated pre-licensure option is available for qualified persons who hold earned degrees in non-nursing fields, or outstanding students who have completed all prescribed general education and science course work. Baccalaureate students meeting admission criteria may participate in the Pierre Laclede Honors College. Students who have been dismissed from another nursing program are not eligible for admission to the pre-licensure BSN program.
