The University of Tulsa launches online RN-to-BSN degree

TULSA, Okla., Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Tulsa has announced a new online nursing program to create more pathways for students to meet the growing demand for nurses. The first class begins Aug. 21 with a program for registered nurses to earn their bachelor of science in nursing, which equips them to transfer experience into leadership.

This modern course delivery method costs less per hour than a traditional full-time, in-person experience and creates more flexibility for working adults to access a top-tier health care degree. The RN-BSN program features TU's top-ranked curriculum in accelerated, eight-week courses and can be completed in as few as 12 months. Students also may spread out their coursework to accommodate their schedules.

"We are actively working to create more accessible ways for busy, working professionals to balance family and career advancement at a time when demand for nurses is approaching critical levels," said Ron Walker, interim dean of TU's Oxley College of Health & Natural Sciences. "Our online program is designed to be adaptable and exceptional; students can enter at any of five start dates throughout the year, pause, and then restart between sessions to fit the realities of their lives."
