Additional BSN Program Costs
Admitted nursing students pay differential tuition which is higher than regular university tuition to support the additional educational resources to support BSN education. Costs of laboratory tests, immunizations, and health insurance required for the protection of the student and patients are the responsibility of the student. There are additional expenses related to background checks, uniforms and clinical equipment, graduation, and licensure preparation.
Students are responsible for transportation related to clinical experiences. Students may complete the practicum experience at a distant site which will require the student to be responsible for travel, housing and living expenses associated with that experience.
