Bachelor of Science in Nursing

All nursing programs in the Marybelle and S. Paul Musco School of Nursing and Health Professions are delivered using a blend of online learning and clinical practicum or mentored experiences in a variety of healthcare settings. During online sessions, students will engage in instructor-guided or self-directed study using live and recorded lectures, demonstrations, tutorials, and other activities. This blend of teaching methods provides a rich and engaging learning experience for busy professionals who must juggle school, work, and family.

The RN-BSN program also requires one 3-day Immersion session at the Irvine, California, campus at the beginning of the program. The immersion can be attended virtually.

UMass Global has six sessions each year, two in the fall trimester, two in the spring trimester, and two in the summer trimester. Each trimester is considered a unit of eligibility for financial aid. Each session is eight weeks long. These shorter sessions allow students to focus their study on a small number of courses and still complete a degree in one to three years of study.

To enter the RN to BSN program, you must have completed an associate degree in nursing, have an unencumbered RN license, or pass the NCLEX by the end of the first session of enrollment.

Yes. At UMass Global, our student support is renowned. For the admission process we pair every student with an Enrollment Coach who guides the future student all the way through admission and then ensures they are ready for their first course. At that point, we then pair the student with their Academic Advisor who will be with the student for their entire time at UMass Global. And, as mentioned above, for all financial matters, we pair students with a One-Stop Specialist who helps students finance their education.

At UMass Global, two classes per eight-week session is a full-time schedule. One course per session is denoted as a part-time student. Once admitted, your advisor can help determine a workload that fits your life.
