The RN to BSN program offers registered nurses with the Associate in Applied Science degree in Nursing or a hospital diploma in nursing, the opportunity to earn the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). The curriculum is arranged for the nurse who works full time; most students will be able to complete requirements in two and one-half academic years. With the increased focus in nursing on graduate study at both the master’s and doctoral degree levels, earning a bachelor’s degree in Nursing is essential.

Admission Criteria

Students who have earned an associate degree or diploma in nursing from a regionally accredited institution, and who are licensed to practice nursing in Kentucky or a compact state, are eligible for admission.
