Curriculum
Chamberlain’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum is designed to advance students’ ability to retain and apply essential knowledge. The focus is on conceptual learning, giving students the skills to translate theory into practice.
Hands-on experience in both the Chamberlain SIMCARE CENTER™ and the on-site clinical setting allow nursing students to work side-by-side with faculty, mentors, peers, and experienced professional nurses as they refine their direct patient-care nursing skills.
The BSN degree program consists of a minimum of 122 credit hours: 56 credit hours in general education and 66 credit hours in the nursing major.

Admission Requirements
Prospective students must complete an application and interview with a Chamberlain admission representative. When all admission requirements are fulfilled, applicants are notified in writing of their admission status to a specific Chamberlain program and location.
Learn more about our admission requirements.
Students must submit a completed health examination and immunization history by established deadlines. Students enrolled at a campus in the states of LA and NV must complete all immunization requirements as outlined in the academic catalog prior to attending their first class. These immunizations include Meningitis, MMR, and Tdap. Failure to submit all healthcare compliance requirements by the deadlines will result in the student’s ineligibility to attend class rendering them out of compliance. Students will be dropped from any future sessions until pre-registration immunizations required by state law are received and approved.
Please refer to the academic catalog for detailed information.
