Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Overview
The BSN program at WSSU prepares students to enter the workforce as generalists. The faculty is committed to promoting career mobility in students interested in pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree by providing several program options to both traditional and non-traditional learners. The program options include: Traditional, RN to BSN, LPN to BSN, Paramedic to BSN, and Accelerated BSN.
Seventy-one hours are required in the core, general education, and support courses for the nursing major, and 14 hours are pre-nursing courses designed to enhance student readiness for major clinical courses. Upon completion of these courses, the student may apply for admission to the nursing major.
The RN-BSN Option is offered on eleven off-campus sites in addition to the on-campus weekend site.
