Students who complete the program receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). The BSN graduate will be qualified for supervisory positions such as nurse managers and patient unit coordinators. The BSN will also qualify the nurse to pursue a master’s degree that will prepare them for a variety of careers including advanced practice nurses, nurse anesthetists, nurse educators, nurse executives, health policy consultants, etc. Additionally, the BSN is an important first step in a pathway of educational advancement that could lead to a doctoral degree (PhD, DNP, EdD).
