BSN Program Completion Rates

NOTE: Per the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), program completion rates are calculated as the "number of students who complete the program of study on-time," or within the published program length. As such, this statistic does NOT include students who (1) graduated after this point or (2) did not complete the program, which are typically factored into a program's graduation and retention rates. Consequently, the BSN Program Completion Rate considers the following:

• Generic BSN Program: Number of students who completed the program in...
  • Old Format: 6 non-consecutive semesters (i.e., alternating Fall and Spring semesters).
  • 2+2 Format: 5 consecutive semesters.
• Accelerated BSN Program: Number of students who completed the program in 5 consecutive semesters.
• RN-to-BSN Program: Number of students who completed the program in...
  • Fall 2017 through Summer 2018: 3 (full-time) or 5 (part-time) consecutive semesters.
  • Fall 2018 through Fall 2021: 2 (full-time) or 4 (part-time) consecutive semesters.
  • Spring 2022 and Onwards: 2 (full-time, Fall admission), 3 (full-time, Spring/Summer admission), or 4 (part-time, all cohorts) consecutive semesters.

MSN Program Completion Rates

NOTE: Per the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), program completion rates are calculated as the "number of students who complete the program of study on-time," or within the published program length. As such, this statistic does NOT include students who (1) graduated after this point or (2) did not complete the program, which are typically factored into a program's graduation and retention rates.
