Dual-admission RN to B.S.N. Nursing Program ― UToledo and Owens Community College
What is a dual-admission nursing program?
The RN-B.S.N. dual-admission program at Owens Community College and The University of Toledo is the first of its kind in northwest Ohio. You’ll earn an associate degree in applied science in nursing from Owens Community College, followed by a bachelor of science in nursing from UToledo. Once you’ve completed your associate degree at Owens and obtain RN licensure, you’ll move seamlessly into nursing courses in UToledo’s RN-B.S.N. program, with no additional admission fee.
You have the flexibility to set your own pace. Our RN-B.S.N. program is a Competency-based Education Program. This means that you can move through the course at your own pace as you master the material. All classes must be completed by the end of the semester.
