Lakeview College of Nursing offers the BSN program at two locations with flexibility in enrollment. These are our standard progression tracks.
Traditional Track
The traditional track is a prelicensure track that is designed to complete the nursing program in four semesters. Students complete all courses during the fall and spring semesters. Students may choose to take up to six 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
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
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.
