Welcome to the School of Nursing
Baccalaureate Nursing Program
The School of Nursing (SON) offers the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program. Baccalaureate graduates are prepared for a variety of beginning positions - in hospitals, community health care agencies, private offices, the military, industry, and schools. A baccalaureate education also establishes the basis for further learning in graduate programs.
The BSN program accommodates students in three tracks: the basic generic track, the accelerated BSN track, and the RN-BSN track. The basic generic track is designed for students without an earned degree in nursing. The accelerated BSN track is a five semester program designed for non-nurse college graduates. The RN-BSN track is for individuals educated at the diploma or associate level and already licensed as registered nurses. The RN-BSN track is in ONLINE format. The SON supports the Georgia Articulation plan to facilitate educational mobility for registered nurses.
The BSN program has full approval from
the Georgia Board of Nursing. The School of Nursing is accredited by the
National League for Nursing Accrediting
National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission 3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 500
