The Online Option is available for students who wish to complete the BSN in one year by studying full-time online (part-time study is also an option and takes two years). New cohorts start in January, May and August.
Students enrolled in the Indiana University RN-BSN program are through the South Bend campus, are considered IU South Bend students and are enrolled on our campus and pay the tuition and fees to our campus. Graduation is from IU South Bend. Advising is from the IU South Bend campus. Deadlines for registration are earlier and semester calendars may be different from IU South Bend's.
Clinicals are arranged by the student and are incorporated in the three courses that have clinicals/practicum (Community, Management, Capstone). Electives will be announced each semester; if you intend to apply for the IU South Bend FNP program, B245 Assessment will be a required elective.
Typical Course Sequence NURS B331 Transition to BSN Practice must be taken first and NURS R470 Capstone must be taken last; NURS H355 Statistics is taken before NURS H 365 Nursing Research; all other offerings are interchangeable and can be taken as it best works for the RN.
