Recent changes to the RN to BSN program were put into place for fall 2017:

• Statistics is no longer a prerequisite to the RN to BSN program. Statistics will now be offered as part of the RN to BSN program.
• The sequence of courses for the RN to BSN program has changed creating more flexibility in progressing through the RN to BSN program of study.
• The option of taking up to 3 courses for graduate study still exists for those who are considering graduate school in the future.
• Potential students may take up to three courses in the RN to BSN program before officially applying. Doing so can lighten your load once admitted and help with tuition by decreasing overall costs/semester.
• Beginning fall 2019, microbiology will be required as a prerequisite. This date was determined based on the first class to graduate from the new VCCS concept based curriculum (spring 2019).

The University of Virginia BSN Program requires 120 credits for graduation. These credits are accrued in
the following manner:

• 48 general education credits, which can be taken at your local community college
• 42 nursing credits, transferred in from your Associates Degree / Diploma program
• 30 RN to BSN credits, taken at the University of Virginia

Students should consult the UVA Nursing website for the most recent information and to learn about other nursing programs including the BSN and the Accelerated BSN.
