Undergraduate Programs
RN to BSN Degree Completion Program
This program option is offered on the IUB, IUPUC, and IUPUI campuses for nurses holding an associate degree or diploma in nursing from an accredited nursing program. Registered nurses seeking admission to the Indiana University School of Nursing must apply to the campus Office of Admissions and may apply to the program anytime throughout the academic year. Students who have previously attended an IU campus or who are graduates of the associate program at IU should contact the nursing academic counselor. Unless otherwise specified, all School of Nursing policies pertinent to BSN program majors also apply to registered nurse undergraduate students.
Students who have attended another college or university must forward an official transcript to the campus Office of Admissions. The Office of Admissions will then generate a credit transfer report (CTR) listing transferable credit. Upon receipt of the CTR, the student should contact the nursing academic counselor at that campus who will review the CTR, identify course work to be completed, and explain the process for achieving advanced standing with credit. Credit will be awarded for relevant courses completed at other accredited institutions of higher learning. Students are eligible to enroll in courses upon (1) receiving notification from the Office of Admissions that they have been admitted, (2) verification of a registered nurse license in Indiana, and (3) attainment of a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale in all work attempted.
Registered nurse students need to consult with the academic counselor for course planning options. Options will vary according to student need, course availability, and resources. It is highly recommended that students complete their general education requirements before enrolling in the nursing courses within the RN-BSN Program.
