The Registered Nurse to Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) program was designed specifically for registered nurses wanting a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing degree, according to the official program page. Both part-time and full-time enrollment are available for working registered nurses. The program’s flexibility was one of many aspects considered in the ranking process.

Sheri Carey, DNP, assistant professor and RN-BSN program director, said the recognition attested to the program’s reputation and affordability as well as ongoing faculty excellence.

“We strive to give students all the tools they need to achieve their full potential and meet future academic and career goals,” Carey said.
