The Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree program provides a high-quality professional
nursing education with an emphasis on meeting the health needs of rural and semi-rural
communities. Specifically, this program provides opportunities for students to develop
the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that form the basis for professional nursing
practice. The program emphasizes the utilization of the nursing process, which includes
critical thinking and decision-making in planning, implementing, and evaluating health
care services.
Students who have already completed a Bachelor’s degree are eligible for admission
into either the regular B.S.N. degree concentration or into an accelerated B.S.N.
concentration that is limited to only these students. General education courses are
waived due to students’ previous degrees; however, students must still complete science
prerequisites and American History coursework prior to enrollment into accelerated
B.S.N. coursework.
