BSN Completition General Education Requirements

 

The following general education courses are all required for any of the FLEX RN to BSN options (i.e. on campus, outreach, and online). The majority of the general education course requirements were probably already completed for your ADN or Diploma in Nursing. Any general education course requirements you are lacking do not necessarily have to be completed before you can enroll in the RN to BSN Program. They may be taken simultaneously with your BSN coursework (either at UMSL or at another regionally accredited institution); however, they must be completed before you can graduate from UMSL with your BSN. Always contact your nursing advisor prior to taking any courses at other colleges or universities.
