“I loved the fact that the RN-to-BS was not just your typical online program. I enjoyed coming in to see my classmates and teachers and having those face-to-face interactions that I would not have had in other online classes. The program has helped me learn to step out of my comfort zone at work and has given me the confidence to take on projects in my unit—all skills I needed to have in order to be a great nurse, and I learned it from this program.”

About the Program

Emerge a Confident Leader in the Healthcare World

Grounded in well-rounded liberal arts, our program is enriched by faculty who actively mentor, support, and share their own clinical experiences. You'll gain more than skills: you'll develop expertise in patient care technologies, healthcare policy, conflict resolution, creative problem-solving, and evidence-based practice.

What You'll Learn

  • Work directly with a program coordinator to create a study plan that balances your work and family life.
  • Fuel your learning by working with faculty and fellow students in online classes, on-campus seminars, coffee shops, and study groups.
  • Make the most of our small class sizes, which are limited to 11 students to maximize interaction.
  • Learn from professors who know your name, check up on your progress, and make themselves truly available to lend a hand or discuss a question.
  • Seminars are a chance to showcase projects, learn together, and meet other professionals in the nursing community.
  • Students have volunteered at local food pantries, rehabilitation centers, Head Start, Salt Lake County Aging, The Inn Between, the English Skills Learning Center, Catholic Community Service, after-school programs, and the juvenile justice system.
