College of Nursing
Curriculum - R.N. to B.S.N. Program
The curriculum is flexible and allows students to take courses at their own pace. Seton Hall University offers the R.N. to B.S.N. program on-campus, off-campus and on-line to provide a convenient learning environment for all students. The entire B.S.N. curriculum totals 122 credits, and is comprised of the following requirements:

  • 32 credits will be administered for students who demonstrate proof of registered nurse licensure.
  • 55 credits in arts and sciences; if equivalent courses have already been completed, the credits can be transferred. Outstanding courses can continue to be taken at other educational institutions (such as community colleges) while students are registered as non-matriculated students at Seton Hall. Students must become matriculated when they have completed 18 course credits at Seton Hall.
  • 35 nursing credits taken in the Seton Hall University nursing program; of which, at least 19 must be taken as a matriculated student of the University.

Transfer credits

Credits gained at other institutions can be transferred subject to your transcript being reviewed by the program director. Non-matriculated students can continue to take required arts & science courses at other approved institutions.

All nursing courses must be completed at Seton Hall University College of Nursing. Students can demonstrate proficiency through testing or certification for some courses. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credits at Seton Hall in order to earn a BSN degree.
