Nursing, BSN Concurrent Enrollment (RN to BSN)

Requirements

The concurrent enrollment BSN allows students who are completing an associate of science or diploma in nursing to begin work toward their BSN degree prior to completing the basic nursing degree.  To qualify for the concurrent enrollment program, students must be currently enrolled in a state board of nursing approved nursing program with a nursing GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale.  The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) requires the completion of nine required courses and two elective courses in the Department of Nursing and Public Health in addition to the general education requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree.  Lindenwood University acknowledges the value of previous nursing education and awards 35 of the 71 required nursing credits in transfer from the basic nursing degree or diploma program after the student has earned an unencumbered RN license.
