Becoming a Professional Nurse

The two Nursing degree programs are designed for students and professionals with careers at any level. We offer a traditional B.S. in Nursing and a R.N. to B.S. degree. 

Students must apply to the Nursing program which is a separate process from the application to St. Cloud State University. In order to apply to the Nursing program, one must be admitted to SCSU. Email applications are not accepted and only complete applications received before the deadline are considered.
