The College of Nursing recognizes registered nurses as adult learners with years of experience who are balancing professional and family responsibilities. In 2001, the FLEX for BSN-Completion Program began by providing the professional nurse with four instructional options to earn the Bacchalaureate degree. The instructional alternatives include on site, outreach which includes satellite sites at hospitals in the metropolitan St. Louis area, ITV, and online options. FLEX is an acronym for Flexible Learning EXperiences. The program is designed as part-time and takes two years or six semesters to complete the nursing curriculum.
