B.S. in Nursing (RN to BSN) Hybrid


RN to BSN Program

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is offered by the Rowan University College of Science and Mathematics. It is designed to provide RNs with the opportunity to acquire a highly sought after BSN degree with little interruption to professional or personal obligations.

The BSN degree prepares registered nurses for advancement opportunities in the ever-expanding field of nursing. This degree allows nurses to augment their knowledge base and thus enhance their career. This degree also acts as a stepping stone for the nurse who wishes to pursue a Master of Science in Nursing degree with six graduate credits included in the program curriculum.
