RN to BS Program in Nursing

Registered Nurse (RN) graduates of associate degree and diploma programs have been able to earn the baccalaureate degree at Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) by completing a program of study similar to that completed by undergraduate students, but including some RN-only components that acknowledge and build upon existing knowledge and skills. These students are enrolled as Registered Nursing students in the RN-BS degree completion program. In order to receive a degree from WCSU a student must complete a minimum of 30 credits and/or one half of the major (whichever is greater) at the University.
