This degree completion program offers the registered nurse an opportunity to earn the B.S. by awarding transfer credit for studies that led to the state R.N. license. Sixty credits are awarded upon entry to the program.
Students then complete a sequence of general education courses along with studies in the major.
The curriculum is not designed to improve basic nursing skills, nor does it contain such studies. It is meant to supplement these professional skills by developing communication skills, improving interpersonal relationships, sharpening management proficiency and gaining new technical skills. Career options for graduates include supervisory and administrative positions in health care settings, insurance companies, schools, business and non-profit organizations. Pennsylvania requires a bachelor's degree and 24 credits of accounting. Please consult an advisor for current requirements.
