The traditional BSN program consists of five semesters in the major after you have completed your university core requirements. You can become a BSN major by enrolling at ETSU as a pre-nursing major, changing majors, or transferring to ETSU from another university. You can also obtain the BSN after completing another college degree.

Upon successful completion of all nursing course work, you will receive a BSN degree and will be qualified to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to become a Registered Nurse.

The priority admission deadlines for application to the major are February 1 and October 1 of each year, but applications are accepted until the class is full. The applications may be picked up in the Office of Academic Programs and Student Services, Room 230, Roy S. Nicks Hall, Monday through Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm.
