Curriculum Tracks

Lakeview College of Nursing offers the BSN program through four progression tracks.

Traditional Track: The traditional track is a prelicensure track designed to complete the nursing program in four semesters. Students complete all courses during the fall and spring semesters. Students may take up to eight credit hours in the summer semesters.

Accelerated Track: The accelerated track is a prelicensure track that moves at a fast pace and allows students to complete the program in four consecutive semesters of full-time study. The accelerated track includes a ten-week intense summer semester. To accelerate, a student must have a 3.0 cumulative GPA at the end of the spring semester and not be on Academic Probation.

LPN-BSN Track: Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) with varying experience levels are welcome to pursue our BSN degree. The LPN/BSN track reduces the number of required credit hours for licensed practical nurses by proficiency.

RN-BSN Track: Registered Nurses (RNs) who have graduated from associate degree programs or hospital-based diploma programs are welcome to pursue our BSN degree. The RN/BSN track reduces the number of required credit hours for registered nurses through
proficiency, acceptance of prior coursework, and work history.
