ACADEMIC PROGRAMS  |  RN to BSN

The Ohio University School of Nursing (SON) program is designed especially for individuals like you who are already registered nurses and want to further your education by earning a bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN). We realize that many of you juggle the demands of career, family and classes. Carving out time to drive to campus and sit through a lecture is a challenge!

That's why the RN-to-BSN program gives you the flexibility to engage in learning at times and locations that are convenient for you. For example, instead of living on campus or driving to class, you may use your home computer to connect to Ohio University through the Internet. Once online, you may read course assignments, engage in online discussion with classmates, take tests and more through web sites especially designed for your courses.

The SON RN-to-BSN program exploits the latest advances in learning technology. We know that virtually any experience that takes place in a traditional classroom setting can be emulated online. In fact, you may feel more "connected" to your teacher and peers during an online course because you'll never be told "Time's up, class is over." The online discussion continues whenever and wherever you choose. And we understand your needs as a distance learner. We'll work with you to obtain the best quality clinical experiences that are close to your home. Concerned that you'll feel disconnected and out of touch? Relax. Faculty are easily accessible via the class site and via telephone. Technical help is available when you need it. You can call the School of Nursing (1-800-560-0144).

More than 1,700 students have graduated from the RN-to-BSN program since it began in 1975. Accredited by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), unique in its flexibility, and recognized for its quality, the SON may be just right for you.
