Methodist Healthcare has formed an academic partnership with The University of Texas at Arlington to offer associate degree- and diploma-prepared nurses a new opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science degree. This degree can be earned while working.
RNs can participate regardless of the number of prerequisites completed; the program has been streamlined to include all the courses you need to graduate with your BSN. All courses, including prerequites, will be delivered in a 5- to 6-week format through a media-rich online learning system. The program can be completed in as little as 13 months, depending on the number of prerequisite courses (General Courses) that were previously completed.
This UT Arlington program is affordable. The program can be completed for about $4,950.
