New RN to BSN Degree Program via UT Arlington

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.
