Nursing Plan of Study ReNEW RN to UW BSN

This plan will allow students to earn an ADN and simultaneously prepare them for the BSN degree through the University of Wyoming.

This is only a plan. To enroll in the Nursing courses students must be admitted to the Nursing Program. The first two years are primarily ADN coursework. The third year combines Western courses and UW distance or online courses. The fourth year is exclusively UW courses.

See the Associate Degree in Nursing for specific Western degree requirements. Contact a Nursing Advisor or a UW Nursing Advisor for more information and additional requirements.
