Overview

Enrolling in Houston Christian University’s 100% online Nursing - RN to BSN to MSN program saves you time and money by letting you take six fewer credits than you would if you earned your degrees separately. You will advance straight into your MSN courses when you finish your BSN, enabling you to complete the program in as little as three years while working full time.

Unlike other institutions, HCU combines Christian values with progressive healthcare practices, generating uniquely skilled nurse educators and nurse leaders. HCU’s RN to BSN to MSN program graduates are prepared to make a lasting impact on the next generation of nurses.

Online RN to BSN to MSN Courses and Degree Plan

As a Christian university, HCU recognizes nursing as both an art and a science. Students are provided with a broad-based liberal arts foundation during the BSN level courses that is then built upon in the MSN courses. The holistic curriculum, taught by Christian faculty, prepares students to launch a successful career in nurse education or nurse leadership.

Students first complete the BSN-level curriculum, consisting of advanced nursing courses and foundational general education courses. Before finishing the BSN requirements, students take two 16-week bridge courses for six credits. Students earn their BSN degree after completing the bridge courses. Undergraduate credits earned prior to enrolling at HCU may also be eligible for transfer.
