COTC’s RN to BSN program is for currently licensed registered nurses (RNs) who have earned their associate degree in nursing and are looking to advance their nursing career by earning a bachelor’s degree in nursing. The coursework is offered 100% online and the required on-site practicum can be completed at your current employer (or healthcare site of your choice) to seamlessly integrate into the busy schedules of working nurses.

Flexible Schedule

COTC’s online RN to BSN program is comprised of 20, eight-week courses strategically designed to elevate your nursing profession. There are no strict deadlines for assignments, allowing you to work at your own pace within the confines of the scheduled eight-week term. COTC’s experienced faculty will be there to guide you as you work your way through the courses that were created with the role of the registered nurse in mind. 

Affordable Tuition
