Bachelor of Science in Nursing

To be admitted into the nursing program, a student must be a registered nurse with a current license to practice in the United States. The student must complete the regular university admissions process. A student who does not complete the admissions process prior to registration can enroll as a transient student for one semester by presenting the Registered Nurse license at registration.

A minimum of 120 semester credit hours is required for the bachelor of science in nursing (B.S.N.) degree. No lower division nursing courses are taught at Loyola. Credit for lower division nursing (i.e., adult health, parent-child health, mental health) is awarded by validation of transfer credit for associate degree graduates or validation of advanced placement credit for diploma nursing school graduates.

• Courses leading to a BSN are available to RNs in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and throughout Louisiana via our Distance Learning Program. Exams for Distance Learning Program students are given at a convenient off-campus site by proctors.
• Students may enter the B.S.N. program during any semester: Summer, Fall or Spring
• Classes are offered one night per week in either the eight-week or 15-week format. Students typically schedule two or three classes each term.
• No clinical required; practicum projects compatible with busy work and home life
• User-friendly transfer policies for nursing and non-nursing courses, which allows course substitution whenever possible.
• Competitively-priced tuition. There is a deferral plan for those participating in an employer reimbursement program
