The Program
The fast track for RN-BSN students can be completed in three semesters.
The Fast Track RN-BSN Program is offered to registered nurses, with a current Nursing
License, who are graduates of accredited associate degree or diploma programs in nursing
and leads to the Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. This program offers the RN
student the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills needed for professional nursing
practice in a wide variety of settings and provides the educational foundation that
is the basis for graduate study in nursing. Registered nurses who meet the admission
requirements for the BSN program may complete the program in one calendar year of
study.
The full-time study plan allows students to complete the program in three semesters,
and graduate after completing thirty (30) semester hours at FAMU. Students selecting
part-time study may elect to complete the program in five semesters.
