Through a curriculum centered upon evidence-based practice, clinical reasoning, innovation, interprofessional communication and information technology, the BSN program prepares students to provide high quality professional nursing care. The BSN may be earned through four different programs. In the traditional pre-licensure clinical nursing program, students take prerequisite course work and then advance to the upper-division clinical nursing program. The clinical program may be completed in a year-round program in 16 months or an academic year program in 24 months. Directly admitted students must meet continuing eligibility criteria. Students not directly admitted may compete for remaining seats in the program. The RN to BSN program is available to students who have earned an associate degree in nursing or a nursing diploma. This online program may be completed in 18 to 24 months. The pathway program for students from Arizona community colleges provides additional benefits. The postbaccalaureate BSN is available to students who have earned a bachelor's in a discipline other than nursing. Students take nursing prerequisites and a 12-month upper-division clinical nursing program which begins in spring semesters only. In the concurrent enrollment program, students are selected from the pool of MaricopaNursing students. Selected students will be enrolled in the MaricopaNursing program and ASU BSN iCourse courses concurrently. This program takes four to six terms to complete and includes summer sessions. Arizona State University and Eastern Arizona College have established a partnership that will allow you to complete your associate degree at EAC and then pursue this bachelor's degree through classes delivered on the EAC Thatcher campus.
