About the Program

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is offered jointly by Rowan University College of Graduate & Continuing Education and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. It is designed to provide RNs with the opportunity to acquire a highly sought after BSN degree with little interruption to professional or personal obligations.

The BSN degree prepares registered nurses for advancement opportunities in the ever-expanding field of nursing. This degree allows nurses to augment their knowledge base and thus enhance their career. This degree also acts as a stepping stone for the nurse who wishes to pursue a Master of Science in Nursing degree with six graduate credits included in the program curriculum.
