RN to BSN Program Requirements

Graduates will have completed a total of 120 semester credit hours, comprised of 60 credits of core curriculum pre-requisites and 60 credits of nursing major-specific credits.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The last 30 credit hours of BSN courses must be completed at OSU.
  • The first 60 credits are core curriculum pre-requisite liberal arts and science courses.
    • There is no expiration date on academic credit and you have the option of completing all 60 credit hours of these courses at the regionally accredited community college or university of your choice.
    • A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required for admission.
