R.N. to B.S./M.S. in Nursing

The College of Nursing offers registered nurses the opportunity to obtain a bachelor of science (B.S.) degree with a master of science (M.S.) degree option in order to accelerate professional development.

Registered nurses with an associate's degree from an accredited nursing program may receive credit for all nursing courses and any courses that meet the College of Nursing program requirements in the humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences.

Registered nurses with a diploma or those who have graduated from a cooperative nursing program may receive up to 24 nursing credits for prior nursing education and can transfer required courses in the humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences. There is no limit on the number of courses that can be transferred; however there is a 30-credit residency requirement at Rutgers.

Specific curriculum requirements may be obtained from the Office of Student Services or the baccalaureate program dean's office.
