Online Nursing R.N. to B.S.N. Bachelor's Degree Overview

Earn your B.S.N. in a flexible, online, self-paced learning environment ideal for working adults balancing work and family obligations.  Earning a B.S.N. degree helps registered nurses reach new heights. Our R.N.-B.S.N. program is offered as a self-paced Competency-Based Education program (CBE).  The CBE approach to teaching and learning is an individual learning model that allows students to advance in their coursework based on their ability to master knowledge and skills at their own pace, allowing for a flexible time line.

The University of Toledo's nationally accredited R.N.-B.S.N. program has proven its expertise since 1974. All courses in our online R.N.-B.S.N. program are Quality Matters certified.  We're also leading the way in course structure innovation.  Students can earn their degree in as few as two semesters— guided by experienced full-time faculty every step of the way.  
 
Important Note: If you are considering an online program that leads to a professional license or expect to do a clinical practicum in a state other than Ohio, we highly recommend that you contact the appropriate licensing agency in your state of residence to seek information and additional guidance before beginning the program.
