RN to BSN Program

The ABAC RN to BSN Program is designed to provide the educational opportunity for the RN who has an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) to complete the requirements to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN).

ABAC's RN to BSN Program is 100% online. Students enrolled full-time in the program can complete the program within three semesters. Students enrolled part-time in the program can complete the program within five semesters.

Nurses commonly return to school to pursue a BSN to enhance their education and prepare for additional career opportunities. Because students are already RNs, the emphasis is less on clinical bedside care and more on leadership, critical thinking, collaboration, and population-level nursing care.

Admission to the program occurs every semester.

The student must hold and maintain a current, valid and unrestricted Registered Nurse License to practice in the United States.

Candidates for the RN to BSN Program must have completed a minimum of 30 credit hours of Core Curriculum requirements as outlined in the program requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

A grade of “C”or better is required for all general education core courses and nursing courses to count towards degree completion.

Students transferring all core course credit from another institution must take a minimum of 30 semester hours, of which 21 credit hours must be in the 3000-4000 level, to be eligible for graduation.

*Successful completion of the core course requirement (60 hours of core classes-ENGL 1101, ENGL 1102, etc.) and subsequent successful completion of one semester of RN to BSN Program track nursing grants the student articulation credit for NURS 1108, NURS 1109, NURS 1110, NURS 2207, NURS 2208, NURS 2209, and NURS 2210.
