Expand Your Nursing Education, Grow Your Career
Licensed RNs who hold an Associate Degree in Nursing can earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing online for less than $9,000. Nurses who earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree gain valuable leadership and clinical skills, are eligible for more jobs, and earn a higher salary.
Flexible
- You choose to complete the program in two, three, or four semesters.
- You can start the program any semester—Fall, Spring, or Summer.
- *Online RN to BS Geriatric Nursing Leadership is available for a Fall start and the four-semester program only.
Adaptable
- Adapt your program of study to complete an emphasis in Geriatric Nursing Leadership or prepare to apply directly to a graduate program (MS, DNP, or PhD).

Affordable

- Under $9,000 to attend our program - one of the most affordable BSN programs in the state of Utah
- No semester-to-semester rates for online tuition. You can calculate your tuition bill easily by adding together your total credit hours on your program of study and multiplying by the current per credit hour rate. For example, take 9 credits during fall semester translates to 9 credits x $260 = $2,240.
*There are plans for a 2% tuition increase for the 2021-22 academic year. This would increase credit hour rate from $260 per credit hour to $266.50 per credit hour. This is unofficial and has yet to be approved.

"The RN to BS program has been a perfect complement to my Master of Public Administration Degree. The education helped me gain a greater understanding of the work that we do as nurse administrators every day. The program is easier to attend than you would expect—it really is designed for busy working executives. The instructors are amazing, understanding, and really help you to be successful."
