Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The BSN program is designed to develop the professional knowledge and
skills of working registered nurses. The curriculum is built upon a
foundation of biological, physical, and social sciences which contribute
to the science of nursing. The liberal arts components promote the
development of the intellectual, social, and cultural aspects of the
professional nurse.
The program enhances the foundation in the biological, physical, and
social sciences through an instructional program with behavioral
objectives that concentrate on the development of the nurse's role as
caregiver, teacher, and manager of care. Utilizing a self-care framework,
working registered nurses are prepared as generalists who are able to
apply professional skills and knowledge to nursing, clients, and health
care systems.
The BSN program has a 36 credit nursing core and a 12 credit cognate
requirement. Completion of this required course of study fulfils only part
of the 126-semester credit minimum requirement for the degree.
