Bachelor of Science in Nursing - Option for Registered Nurses

Take your nursing career to new heights. We offer three pathways to elevate your career as a registered nurse. Individuals who are pursuing an associate's degree in nursing or have a registered nursing license can pursue the Concurrent Enrollment Program, the Associate to BSN, or the Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (post-licensure). Our program allows you to transfer up to 90 credits from a partnered Arizona community college, offering a cost-effective pathway to earning your BSN. Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP) - Students who are admitted into an Arizona Community College nursing program for their Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree will start with NAU a semester prior. The CEP is an opportunity for you to graduate with both degrees in the same month. Dual enrollment for financial aid is available. Associate to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) - Students currently enrolled in an associate degree in nursing can enter in any semester before completing their AAS degree. Dual enrollment for financial aid is available. Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) - Nurses who have graduated with their AAS degree and hold an unencumbered U.S. RN license may pursue this option.

Official transcripts from all secondary (high school) and post-secondary (college/university) education to your application for the admission evaluation (including vocational and ESL transcripts).Require a minimum 2.5 grade-point average (GPA) on a 4-point scale for first-year and transfer students without an associate degree.Admission requirementsIndividual program admission requirements over and above admission to NAU are required.You must apply and be accepted to the College of Nursing's program in addition to being admitted to the university.Due to State Board of Nursing regulations and other legal requirements, we do not accept students into the program that live in Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, or Washington, nor are we permitted to allow students to complete the program if they relocate to one of these states. Concurrent Enrollment Program FormatYou must take at least 3 units/semester at NAU.Associate to BSN FormatYou are eligible to apply for this program pathway if you are enrolled in an associate degree nursing program. You can enter at any point while enrolled in your associate degree nursing program without prior approval from your program for entry.If your associate degree nursing program is partnered with NAU, you can receive dual tuition but are required to enroll in at least 3 units/semester at NAU. If your associate degree nursing program is not partnered with NAU, you can still enroll in this pathway. However, to receive dual financial aid, you will need to enroll in at least 6 units/semester or pay cash for 3 units/semester at NAU.RN to BSN FormatYou must have a current U.S. RN license, in good standing, for the state in which you reside. "Good standing" means the license of a nurse is current, and the nurse is not presently subject to any disciplinary action, consent order, or settlement agreement as defined by the State Board of Nursing in the jurisdiction of the license. You are eligible to apply for this format option if you are a registered nurse who has graduated from an accredited associate degree or diploma nursing program. We offer this as a web-based option to licensed registered nurses with the exceptions noted above.
