Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree (RN to BSN Program - Off-Campus) 

This part time degree completion program, leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, is designed for the student who has earned an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or a Diploma in Nursing from a hospital program, and holds an unencumbered and unrestricted RN license to practice nursing in North Carolina or a compact state. The RN-BSN program provides the academic knowledge and skills necessary to advance in the nursing field and/or pursue graduate study in nursing. The Appalachian RN-BSN program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

The RN to BSN program is cohort-based, a concept of providing a schedule of courses to an identified group of students who, together, start and complete their upper-division program of study at a particular location. Cohorts begin at varying times and the prospective student must select a particular cohort to attend prior to that cohort’s beginning date.
