The RN-to-BSN degree completion program at the University of Kansas School of Nursing provides registered nurses a way to complete their bachelor's degrees as quickly as possible. The program can be completed in as little as one calendar year of full-time study (provided an RN begins the nursing coursework in June) or up to five years of part-time study.
With an online RN-to-BSN program, registered nurses can earn their degrees through the KU Medical Center's Virtual Classroom. An Internet Web site on the KU Medical Center network, the Virtual Classroom houses courses for the Schools of Allied Health, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy as well as for Graduate Studies and Continuing Education. The Virtual Classroom does not require you to have a physical presence in a traditional classroom.
The BSN is made up of 124-credit hours, 62 of which are prerequisite liberal arts and sciences courses. These may be taken at any accredited four-year or community college. The remaining 62 credits required for the BSN make up the nursing major. Credit for the nursing major courses are earned through a combination of portfolio examination, challenge exams and nursing course work.
