The Kirkhof College of Nursing's RN to B.S.N. program is specifically designed for individuals currently working on or having completed academic preparation as an associate degree prepared nurse. Classes include content on research, evidence-based practice, safety and quality, professional identity, informatics, emergency preparedness, leadership, community and population health nursing.

For many associate degree-prepared registered nurses, completing a B.S.N. degree affords additional career opportunities and a broader scope of practice. The RN to B.S.N. program is designed at a part-time pace and is currently being offered as a fully online program with applied learning experiences through clinical practicum in the senior year. Individualized program plans based on previously completed coursework are created for each applicant.
