Whether you are just starting out, looking to change your career, or seek advancement in your nursing career, consider the nursing program at Becker College. Becker College offers pre- and post-licensure nursing education options.

The four-year bachelor of science in nursing program (BSN) combines nursing and liberal arts curricula for a progressive, quality education. It prepares the graduate to assume the role of a registered nurse in direct care patients in acute-care, long-term care, and community or ambulatory-care settings, as well as for entry into graduate level programs.

If you are a practicing RN with an associate’s degree or diploma in nursing seeking to advance your career:

The RN to BSN program enables you to earn a bachelor of science in nursing, typically within two years.  Graduates from the RN to BSN program acquire a deeper and broader level of assessment, communication, critical thinking, and technical skills.  The RN to BSN program provides students with the theory and competencies for professional practice and community health assessment and leadership, as well as research competencies to serve as a foundation for graduate study in nursing.
