The field of nursing is experiencing a shortage of leadership, as more experienced nurses retire and leave behind key roles in management. Filling those roles will require a new generation of registered nurses to further their education and advance through the ranks. The College of Nursing at the University of Illinois at Chicago is a top-ranked nursing program committed to creating nursing leaders and now offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Degree Completion Program for currently licensed registered nurses. This bachelor's program is:

• Online, with no residency requirement, enhancing your ability to juggle your busy schedules. Practicum experiences are designed to be completed in your region.
• A 30-credit hour program that can be completed in as few as 16 months. Each class is 8-weeks long.
• Taught by faculty who are thought leaders in nursing at a research powerhouse ranked third nationally in grant funding from the National Institutes of Health.

Our BSN completion program will:

• Provide you with an excellent nursing credential and prepare you to be a leader in your organization.
• Advance your career by opening avenues to larger responsibilities and a higher salary potential.
• Facilitate entry to graduate school through widespread recognition of the value of a UIC College of Nursing degree.

Most students who apply to our online nursing degree have already satisfied some or all of the needed prerequisites as part of their Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN) or other college-level coursework they have taken. On average, most of our students only need to take four to six courses beyond their ADN and/or RN licensure in order to complete the prerequisites and apply for our program.
