Traditional BSN Program Details
The traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is offered through the School of Rehabilitation and Medical Sciences in The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow College of Health Professions. The major is designed for you to obtain your BSN degree which authorizes you to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination-RN (NCLEX-RN) to become a Registered Nurse. The BSN student learning outcomes mirror the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) domains for entry-level nursing professionals. Nursing clinicals are patient care experiences and are scheduled in each nursing semester designed to expose you to a variety of healthcare settings and patient populations.
