Nursing Bachelor's Degree Overview
The accredited Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at The University of Toledo is the first nursing, undergraduate program in northwest Ohio. The BSN program is a consortium with Bowling Green State University, about 25 miles south of Toledo.
Undergraduate nursing students apply as pre-nursing students at UToledo or BGSU, where they take their first two years of classes. Upon admission to the upper-level nursing program, they complete their last two years on UT’s Health Science Campus, home to the UT Medical Center.
UToledo’s BSN program is committed to innovation, evidenced-based clinical education and scholarship.
