Curriculum and Online Nursing Courses Overview
The RN to BSN program requires 121 credits to graduate from the School of Nursing.

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.
