The RN to BSN program at UW-Milwaukee is designed for diploma nurses, associate degree nurses and prelicensure ADN students looking for a flexible way to earn a baccalaureate degree.
The program is designed to support educational mobility and to strengthen professional growth and leadership competencies while building relationships with other highly motivated students. Students may choose from two modalities to complete their BS in Nursing.
The UW-Milwaukee School of Nursing offers the flexibility of two modes of learning for students to complete the RN to BSN program. Students enjoy the ability to move in and out of what mode best fits their learning style and life needs. We offer online, in-person and competency-based assessment. Prelicensure Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) students can request permission to take courses to satisfy requirements for BSN completion.
