Curriculum
Emory & Henry College takes great pride in the liberal arts foundation. BSN nurses who graduate will have this knowledge base to enhance the perspective of healthcare on a local, national and global level.
Students accepted into the RN to BSN Program will be allowed to transfer in 39 credits achieved through their nursing courses. General education which meet the CORE requirements will be determined according to the courses accepted from previous institutions, (i.e., Anatomy & Physiology, English, etc.).
The RN to BSN program can be completed both in a one-year accelerated track or in a part-time, two-year program.
The sequencing listed below includes only nursing curriculum courses. Students may be required to take additional CORE courses to complete the liberal arts curriculum.
