B.S.N. in Nursing

About the Program

There is a high demand for qualified registered nurses to provide evidence-based, equitable care to patients, families, caregivers, and diverse populations. To meet this need, Monmouth University offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program for students committed to a career in nursing.

Nurses who hold a bachelor’s degree are recognized as qualified generalists who advance in their field and are eager to realize their full potential. At Monmouth University, BSN students receive the necessary preparation for RN licensure, as well as a valuable, wide-ranging liberal arts education.

The BSN program is designed primarily for first-year students who enroll as freshmen. The program of study begins with the sciences and general education courses. Nursing courses are introduced in the second year with clinical and lab courses beginning in the third year.

• BSN program cohorts begin every Fall semester.
• Personalized faculty advising starts early in the program with individual attention provided throughout the program.
• Nursing offers small class sizes with a maximum of 30 students within the Nursing lecture setting.
• Nursing Clinical experiences are typically at area hospitals, health care centers, and community care settings beginning junior year, providing a variety of clinical experiences.
• High-fidelity simulation is held at The Linda Grunin Simulation Lab and Learning Center, which provides hands-on learning in a realistic simulation environment with high-tech mannequins and equipment. Simulation promotes critical thinking and is threaded throughout the nursing curriculum. 
• Study Abroad programs are available to Nursing students.
• Opportunity with our clinical partnership exists for nursing students to apply for a nurse externship and residency programs.
