The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) prepares the graduate for beginning practice as a registered nurse in a variety of settings. The BSN is the professional degree that is the cornerstone of education for professional practice, career mobility and advancement. Upon completion of the four year baccalaureate program in nursing, graduates are eligible to take the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Licensure exam (NCLEX) to become a Registered Nurse. If you are already a Registered Nurse with an Associate Degree in Nursing and would like to pursue your BSN, please see the information page on our RN-BSN Gateway.
The UTC BSN program gives students the opportunity to experience a variety of care settings. Classes and clinical groups are small, which allows for individualized attention. The BSN program has outstanding faculty that provide leadership in the area’s health care delivery system and professional organizations.
With a BSN, you are also prepared for graduate study in nursing. The emphasis of the program is on use of knowledge and skills to plan and implement nursing care. Critical thinking and decision-making skills are emphasized.
