BS Completion for RNs Degree Requirements

Our CCNE-accredited BS Completion program is for registered nurses who have already earned an associate degree or nursing diploma, offering such important advantages as:

• The same high-quality, caring instruction provided to our traditional nursing undergraduates.
• Small classes, convenient weeknight schedule.
• Adult-focused courses that you can complete at your own pace.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis for the fall, spring, and summer terms. We encourage you to apply well in advance of the semester in which you intend to begin classes.

Transfer Credits

If you wish to transfer credits from previous undergraduate courses to North Park, a transfer evaluation is required. Early application and submission of transcripts is helpful in starting this process and clarifying specific details related to your individual course needs. You should review our transfer guides for more information on which courses are transferable to North Park.

For a bachelor's degree, you need at least 120 semester hours. Students may transfer up to 90 credit hours of college credits from accredited schools for North Park University credit. The first 60 credit hours transferred in may be from either a community college or a four-year university. The last 30 credit hours transferred must be from a four-year accredited university. Only courses with a grade of “C” or better will be accepted for transfer toward the nursing required supporting courses.

Students must earn a minimum of 30 semester hours through North Park University to obtain their BS degree.
