Finish in as few as 24 months: Full-time students can complete the program in as few as 24 months; part-time within three to four years. 

The perfect schedule for the working nurse: Most classes in our RN to BS in Nursing program are offered one day per week throughout the academic year, and we admit in both fall and spring terms. This way, you can earn your degree while continuing to manage other life and work responsibilities. In fact, all nursing classes are hybrid, allowing you to have reduced seat time in the classroom. Additionally, there are online course options for core classes.

State of the art health assessment lab: Our health assessment lab is equipped with all the needed assessment equipment for you to learn advanced health assessments. You can see the facilities in person by signing up for a nursing program visit.

Cohort Approach: Our cohort approach, coupled with our 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio, means that you will be among a small group of nurses and professors the entire time. This environment, where students’ knowledge and skills are highly valued, is perfect for creating a support network and meaningful relationships that last well beyond the program.

Caring Science Curriculum: Our program’s unique Caring Science Curriculum will offer you opportunities to learn how to care not only for others, but also for yourself. We feel this balance is critically important to becoming a kind, caring practitioner.

Preparation for your Future: With a BS in Nursing from Siena College, you’ll be prepared for many career options in your community, including hospitals, clinics, academic settings and more. You can pursue further education leading to advanced practice nursing (APRN) roles such as nurse practitioner, educator, care coordination and leadership.
