Degree Completion Program
Nursing (BSN)
The BSN Completion Program is a post-licensure degree program administered by the College of Arts and Sciences. Students will be mentored by university faculty and nursing leaders in the community to identify and improve the delivery of patient care through the use of nursing research and evidenced-based practice.
Areas of Study
The BSN Completion Program’s curriculum is designed for RNs. Along with seven higher-level nursing courses, the program will continue the UMW tradition of liberal arts education by including three liberal arts courses. The program will enhance the writing, critical thinking, and speaking skills of RNs whose focus is the delivery of direct patient care and prepare them for lifelong learning and professional creativity.
