Nursing/Allied Health Profession Interest Area

Lindenwood University offers partnerships with area nursing programs for degree completion. Lindenwood is also embarking on its own bachelor’s in nursing (BSN) degree program, expected to enroll the first cohort Fall 2025 (pending all accreditation approvals). Students would enter the Lindenwood program as a junior, like existing partnership programs, via a selective admission process.

Note: All Missouri nursing program have seat limitations which the Missouri State Board of Nursing approves. In that regard, most programs use a selective admission process to select candidates.

Below is a program plan that will prepare a student for entry into the Lindenwood’s future nursing program, and also meets requirements for many other area nursing programs.
