Basic Option

The baccalaureate degree in nursing may be earned in several ways, depending upon the previous education of the student. All applicants are initially admitted to the basic undergraduate program unless they are registered nurses. Students who are entering from high school or with some credit from other colleges or universities, including licensed practical nurses, enter the Basic Option.

Ordinarily, the Basic Option takes four years to complete. Although courses may be taken in the summer, no summer classes are required to complete the Basic Option. Exceptional students willing and able to carry heavy course loads may be able to accelerate their program with the Two-Year Transfer Option. Qualified students may also complete all the nursing courses in three years or less. The LPN to BSN Option allows the LPN to test out of some nursing courses worth 6 credits.

Program information sessions are held during the academic year to discuss details of each of the options and to provide individualized counseling.
