+ Bachelor of Science in Nursing—RN/BSN
Degree track
for the registered nurse.
The School
of Nursing also offers an opportunity for graduates of associate

achieves the same terminal objectives as the basic student. However,
this alternate track for the RN provides for flexibility and an
individualized curriculum approach for the nurse in practice. This
program is offered online.
