Bachelor [Nursing] From University of Missouri

The undergraduate program offers two means for achieving the bachelor?s degree in nursing: studies that are preparatory for completion of the professional nurse licensure examination (pre-licensure program) and advanced placement for the professional registered nurse without repetition of fundamental nursing and clinical courses (RN to BSN program). An accelerated pre-licensure option is available for qualified persons who hold earned degrees in non-nursing fields, or outstanding students who have completed all prescribed general education and science course work. The traditional pre-licensure option can be completed on a full-time basis or through a part-time evening/weekend program. Students must meet university and College of Nursing requirements. Baccalaureate students meeting admission criteria may participate in the Pierre Laclede Honors College. Students who have been dismissed from another nursing program are not eligible for admission to the pre-licensure BSN program.

Faculty maintain the right to make appropriate curriculum changes to comply with standards for accreditation and approval as stipulated by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and the Missouri State Board of Nursing?s minimum standards. For that reason, students receive exceptional advising support from college advisors.
