Curriculum and Online Nursing Courses Overview
The RN to BSN program requires 121 credits to graduate from the School of Nursing. As part of the application process, your official transcripts will be evaluated by a Jacksonville University academic advisor and applicable transfer credits awarded. Depending on your individualized progression plan, you will take non-nursing courses via schools that work with the University Alliance Online. This is a seamless transition in terms of both educational work and applying earned credits toward all of your RN to BSN online nursing courses.
