The program provides educational experiences necessary for the RN role at the baccalaureate level. Classes are held online.
 

Admissions Information

Change of Program Policy

Applicants must be a graduate of an approved program (or its equivalent) that prepares individuals to sit for the registered nurse licensing exam (NCLEX-RN) and must be licensed as a registered nurse (RN) within the United States.

External Transfer Admission

The majority of students in this program are considered transfer students in that they completed the basic RN preparation at another institution. All work completed previously at an institution other than Ohio University will be evaluated and follow OU transfer credit policy.
 

Opportunities Upon Graduation

Following graduation, registered nurses with the baccalaureate degree are able to pursue nursing leadership positions within health care agencies and are prepared to enter master’s or doctoral programs in nursing that would lead to advanced nursing roles.
