Program Overview
This major code is for licensed registered nurses (RN) seeking the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). All NRSE courses are delivered online. Most support courses also have online options.
Admissions Information
Change of Program Policy
Applicants must be a graduate of an approved program (or its equivalent) that prepares individuals to sit for the registered nurse licensing exam (NCLEX-RN) and be a resident of one of the Ohio University authorized states. Check undergraduate admissions website or call the School of Nursing for a list of current approved states.
External Transfer Admission
The majority of students in this program are considered transfer students in that they completed the basic registered nurse preparation and possibly general education courses at another institution. All work completed previously at an institution other than Ohio University will be evaluated according to academic requirements of the RN-to-BSN major and OU transfer credit policy.
Opportunities Upon Graduation
Following graduation, registered nurses with the BSN degree are able to pursue nursing leadership positions within health care agencies and are prepared to enter master’s or doctoral programs in nursing that would lead to advanced nursing roles.
