What qualifies as full-time study?
You may enter the RN to BSN Degree Completion Option in the fall semester, the spring semester, or the summer session. The program is structured so that:
- Fall and spring semesters are divided into two eight-week terms.
- Summer sessions are divided into two six-week terms.
Taking two courses per term (four courses per semester or summer session) is considered full-time study. All RN to BSN nursing courses are available year-round.
