Chamberlain offers the following baccalaureate program options:
Three-year BSN degree program: Chamberlain’s on-site Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program is available at 11 campus locations nationwide and can be completed in three years of year-round study instead of the typical four years with summers off.
Second Degree BSN Option: Using the same curriculum as the three-year BSN, the adult with an earned baccalaureate degree is given an opportunity to enter professional nursing in an accelerated program of study. Courses are taught with all theory provided in an online format that is closely linked to face-to-face lab, clinical and other experiential learning activities. (Program availability varies by location.)
RN-BSN Online Degree Completion Option: This flexible online option allows registered nurses to advance their nursing careers by earning a BSN degree in as few as 3 semesters. The option offers the flexibility and ease of online learning with no on-site clinical training. Chamberlain also offers an RN-BSN to MSN Online Option, where Registered Nurses can begin taking MSN courses while pursuing a BSN, making it more cost-effective and taking less time than earning them separately.
