Pre-licensure BSN programs
Traditional BSN
Traditional university track with nursing courses taken in sequence over the final five semesters. You’ll be eligible to take the national licensing exam to become a registered nurse (NCLEX-RN).
The traditional BSN is also available through our Compressed Program, which lets you complete the nursing requirements in 16 months.
American Indian Program
Leading to the traditional BSN, this is the first reservation-based entry-level nursing program giving priority to Native American students who are members of federally recognized tribes.
Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP)
If you prefer to start with an associate (AAS) degree in nursing, the CEP and mid-AAS options are a pathway to earn the traditional BSN simultaneously.
Accelerated BSN
If you already have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college, the Accelerated Option prepares you for the licensing exam in 12 months.
Post-licensure RN to BSN programs
BSN – Option for Registered Nurses
RNs who already graduated from an accredited associate-level nursing program are eligible to apply for the all-online Option for Registered Nurses degree, following a traditional semester schedule.
BSN – Option for Registered Nurses, Personalized Learning
RNs with an associate credential are also eligible to apply for the same online degree through the Personalized Learning path, which follows a self-paced subscription model.
