The College of Nursing provides course work leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). The undergraduate program offers two means for achieving the bachelor’s degree in nursing:

• Studies that are preparatory for completion of the professional nurse licensure examination (pre-licensure track)
• Advanced placement for the professional registered nurse without repetition of fundamental nursing and clinical courses (RN/BSN track).

An accelerated pre-licensure option is available for qualified persons who hold earned degrees in non-nursing fields, or outstanding students who have completed all prescribed general education and science course work. Baccalaureate students meeting admission criteria may participate in the Pierre Laclede Honors College.
