LPN to BSN Program
Turn your LPN into a BSN without missing a beat.
This track within the BSN program is tailored specifically for students who are looking to take the next step in their nursing careers.
Students who have graduated from an accredited LPN program with a minimum GPA of 2.5 are eligible to enroll in our LPN-to-BSN hybrid track program.
Degree requirements can be completed in approximately 18 months dependent on how many general education courses a student takes each 8-week term.
What Sets Us Apart
Hybrid Format
Designed to enhance your learning opportunities to effectively accommodate work, life and schooling. Most courses will be offered online, while the hands-on skill labs and clinical experiences will be in-person.
Transfer Credits
After passing the PN-NCLEX, challenge exams will be available in Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, Fundamentals of Nursing, Human Development, Intro to Psychology, and Pathophysiology & Pharmacology. Upon successful completion of the challenge exams, these courses will be accepted as transfer credits.
One-on-One Faculty Attention
Experienced nursing faculty, not teaching assistants, will advise you and lead classes that are small and attuned to your personal learning style. We place an emphasis on clinical practice including, but not limited to courses in pediatric, maternity and medical/surgical nursing.
Success Focus
The LPN-to-BSN track weaves computerized assessment technology throughout each nursing course in addition to an RN NCLEX Review Course to help achieve student success. Nurses graduating from our programs are highly valued and sought after in the local healthcare field.
