Admission

Registered nurses who hold a diploma or a degree from a two-year college and wish to earn a baccalaureate degree can complete the RN to BS program either full-time or part-time.  The program is offered via the Internet and the combined resources of the nursing programs at the UW campuses located in Eau Claire, Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee and Oshkosh. The goal of the program is to provide access so that students may pursue their education without having to relocate.

The UW-Madison School of Nursing is one of five UW campuses providing the BSN@Home Program. Students choose UW-Madison as their home institution if they wish to pursue their BS degree from the UW-Madison institution. UW-Madison provides all student related services (i.e. advising, financial aid, registration) and the unique capstone practicum course that gives students an integrative education experience.

All five institutions teach nursing courses in the shared curriculum. Core nursing courses are offered frequently to ensure that students have multiple options for course and program completion.  Students are admitted and enroll for courses through UW-Madison and must meet all degree requirements for the nursing program. The baccalaureate degree in nursing will be awarded by UW-Madison. The degree is nationally accredited and approved by the Wisconsin State Board of Nursing.
