RN-BSN
The university is a member of the Georgia
RN-BSN Articulation Model which accommodates
registered nurse students who have completed
an associate degree or diploma nursing program
and are licensed to practice nursing in
Georgia. This program option builds on the
knowledge and skills of the practicing nurse
following completion of the university’s core
curriculum (60 hours). RN students who meet
GCSU admission requirements for nursing may
be admitted as transfer students to the
university in any academic term to complete
core courses. Core courses must be completed
prior to enrolling in any nursing courses. RN
students then complete 24 semester hours of
nursing over 3 part-time semesters, including
2 courses with clinical experiences, to
complete degree requirements. These courses
are taught at the Medical Center of Central
Georgia in the evenings. For more
