baccalaureate degree - rn-bs track

The Baccalaureate Track for Registered Nurses at Indiana State University offers an alternative means through which registered nurses may complete a bachelor’s degree in nursing.

This track offers enrollment on either a full or part-time basis. 

The Baccalaureate Track for Registered Nurses can be completed through web based distance learning or in part via traditional campus based classes. Students are held to the same progression, retention, and dismissal policies as student in the four year baccalaureate program of study.

The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing combines theory and clinical nursing courses, required support courses, and General Education courses. 

The baccalaureate degree program is recognized as the basic preparation for professional nursing practice and prepares the graduate as a generalist. Baccalaureate graduates are prepared to provide direct and indirect nursing care.  The graduate also is prepared as a communicator, educator, and advocate, and can assume beginning leadership roles.

Baccalaureate nursing education is foundational for graduate study in nursing. 

The baccalaureate program is approved by the Indiana State Board of Nursing and is accredited by the National League of Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).
