Program Description


The RN/BS curriculum offers an individualized study option for the registered nurse to obtain a baccalaureate degree in Nursing.

Qualified students may take up to six hours of graduate courses towards the master’s degree in Nursing. Registered nurses interested in pursuing a baccalaureate degree should contact the School of Nursing for curriculum requirements. This program is offered at the University Center of Greenville.
