ASU receives approval for a new BSN program

Augusta State University received approval from the University System of Georgia Board of Regents for the establishment of its new Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The BSN program, whose goal is to increase its number of graduates from 70 to 150 annually, will build upon the university’s existing Associate of Science in Nursing degree program. The three-track baccalaureate degree program will include two tracks designed to meet the educational needs of students with no prior professional nursing education and to serve as an accelerated path for licensed practical nurses who desire a bachelor’s degree in nursing. The third is a fast track for registered nurses who want to receive the BSN degree.
