The BS-BA to BSN program is an accelerated program for college graduates who wish to become a registered nurse with a bachelor's degree in nursing.  It is designed for full time study.  After 18 months of continuous enrollment, successful students obtain the Bachelor of Science in nursing degree (BSN) and are eligible to take the licensing examination for registered professional nurse (RN).  Upon completion of the BSN, those graduates who wish to continue for the MSN apply for admission to that program.  Exceptional students who wish to pursue the MSN while completing Senior level BSN courses will be considered on an individual basis.

A new cohort of students begin this program in May on the first day of Summer
Session I.  Applications are reviewed in December for the cohort that begins the following May.
