Accelerated RN-to-BSN-to-MSN Program

This program is for registered nurses who have graduated from accredited diploma or associate degree programs in nursing. The program provides an accelerated path into the Master’s in Nursing program. The baccalaureate upper-division nursing major includes both undergraduate and graduate-level courses to satisfy the requirements for the baccalaureate degree. The basis of the acceleration is the substitution of graduate credits for credits toward the BSN. RN to BSN to MSN students must maintain a 3.0 GPA throughout their course of study. All required undergraduate nursing courses for this degree are available online, as are the graduate nursing core courses and nursing courses required for the MSN in Nursing Management and Executive Leadership, Clinical Nurse Leader, and Nursing Education tracks. Please refer to the Sacred Heart University Undergraduate Catalog for additional information.
