Program requirements

Our curriculum provides a seamless transition from the RN to BSN, building on the students’ experiences as registered nurses. Students who have successfully completed their associate’s degree in nursing and passed the NCLEX need only 30 Rider credits to graduate. An additional 3 credits of undergraduate statistics may be required. 

All nursing courses are offered in an accelerated format. Clinicals are integrated into the course assignments and separate clinical placements or work with preceptors are not required.
