More Affordable. More Convenient. More Effective.

Welcome to the Ohio University RN-to-BSN Academic Outreach Initiative!

A program exclusively for working nurses.

Ohio University provides accessible state of the discipline nursing education. For more than 30 years we've offered upper division education for RNs—starting the first such program in Ohio in 1975. Now we offer an RN-to-BSN option exclusively for nurses working at health care facilities that have agreed with Ohio University to bring this affordable, convenient online program to their employees.

Ohio University School of Nursing graduates—more than 2,000 strong — are highly competent practitioners, leaders and scholars who are grounded in a sense of inquiry and committed to human caring within a climate of diversity. Our learner-centered approach encourages intellectual curiosity along with human caring.
