RN to BSN Admission & Selection

Welcome Students

Students are accepted to our RN to BSN Program each fall, spring and summer semesters.

How to Apply

Take the following steps to apply to the RN to BSN Program:

  • Please read the Applicant Checklist before proceeding
  • You must be a current WSU student or apply for admission. You can apply to WSU and to the RN to BSN program at the same time.
  • Once you're admitted to WSU, you remain admitted—no need to reapply later.
  • Have you passed the NCLEX-RN and hold a current RN license?

NOTE: Current WSU students in the ADN or PN to RN Program should refer to the RN to BSN Student Progression Page for information related to applying for the RN to BSN at the conclusion of their associate’s degree program.
