How will a Generic Bachelors in Science in Nursing (BSN) Degree help you?

Our program will prepare you for the expanding professional roles as a result of the evolving and intricate health care environment.

You will be in tune with the health care shift to primary and preventative care with less focus on the inpatient setting.

You will be prepared to practice in a variety of settings from homecare to case management.

A BSN is the first step before going to graduate school if you plan on becoming an Advanced Practice Nurse (APRN), nurse educator, or nurse executive.

The faculty is very focused on helping us succeed and giving us the best opportunities.
