Accelerate Your Nursing Career with the RN to BSN Integrative Enrollment Option

  Online

In response to the increasing demand for baccalaureate-prepared nurses, APU’s Integrative Enrollment Pathway offers a seamless and accelerated program for students enrolled in the Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN) program at Pasadena City College who want to simultaneously work toward a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at Azusa Pacific University.

Simultaneously enrolled at both schools, you will complete fully online BSN courses alongside the traditional ADN coursework of the partnering institution. Within six months of achieving your ADN, you will graduate from Azusa Pacific with a BSN. The BSN is awarded after all final official transcripts are received and the NCLEX-RN has been passed. As a graduate from this program, you will enter the field with a higher level of preparedness and education, shown to improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital costs.

APU also offers accelerated RN to BSN and RN to BSN online programs for working registered nurses.
