Complete your Nursing Bachelor's Degree. Program applications are now open!

A few facts about the program:

  • The RN to BSN program is a post-licensure pathway designed for students who have obtained a Washington RN license by the time classes start in September.
  • The RN to BSN program is a selective admission program. Selective admission criteria are used when there are more applicants to the program than seats available.
  • Graduates of LCC’s associate degree nursing program (AN-DTA/MRP) may be able to complete the RN to BSN program in as little as one year (3 quarters) of full-time enrollment (15 credits per quarter, 45 credits total).
  • This will be a hybrid program, with classes meeting in-person one evening a week.
  • Both full- and part-time pathways will be available.
  • We are pursuing national accreditation as soon as possible for the RN to BSN program through the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
