RN to BSN Program


Christian Brothers University is offering a convenient and affordable RN to BSN Program. We invite you to become a part of this exciting, new program that will give you the ability to further advance in nursing.

This accelerated BSN program for Registered Nurses provides a unique alternative to the traditional method of pursuing a bachelor's degree. This program is designed as a transformational learning experience leading to personal and professional skill development to meet the needs of Registered Nurses previously prepared at the ADN or diploma level.

The CBU Nursing Program uses a cohort-based learning module for the RN-BSN completion program. Cohorts of 20-25 adult learners share the academic experience as a cohesive group participating in active learning to enhance nursing knowledge and cognitive skills, including synthesis, analysis and evaluation.

The admissions calendar for nursing allows students to be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. CBU has two starting classes each year -- in August and January.

Preparing nursing professionals for the challenges of healthcare
The BSN-prepared nurse is highly sought after by healthcare employers who recognize that patient acuity now necessitates a higher level of nursing education. The BSN curriculum at CBU focuses on current healthcare issues and delivery, and prepares the student to assume a leadership role in a variety of settings.

Registered nurses receive 30 prior learning credits for their licensure just before graduation. Upon evaluation of transcripts, additional transfer semester hour credits for general education courses completed at a college or university may be awarded. This track may be completed in 18 months.
