Postlicensure Program (RN-BSN)
RN to BSN students are accepted for admission fall, spring and summer semesters. Students may complete the RN to BSN nursing major on a full-time or part-time basis. While a two-year, part-time completion of nursing courses is typical, students may proceed at a slower pace, if desired, to allow the students to work towards a degree while meeting the demands of work and family responsibilities. The application process requires admission to Old Dominion University as a degree-seeking student and completion of an online supplemental nursing application.
Registered Nurses receive 33 of the 66 nursing credits as experiential learning credits. These are awarded from the RN licensure at no cost to the student.
