UIC Nursing's traditional BSN program is Illinois' top undergraduate nursing program
The traditional BSN program incorporates face-to-face instruction and hands-on learning
A BSN degree from UIC will provide you with the strongest possible foundation for a fulfilling career as a nurse—one of the fastest growing and most trusted professions in the U.S. Here at UIC, you’ll learn from some of the nation’s foremost nursing leaders and be supported by energetic and engaged peers.
Admission: Fall only
To be admitted as a transfer student to the traditional BSN program, students must have already completed 57 credit hours of college-level coursework. Once admitting to the College of Nursing, students complete the program over four full-time semesters (no summers), and after graduation, they are eligible to sit for the RN licensure exam.
The traditional BSN program is offered at our campuses in Chicago, Springfield and Urbana.
Standard application deadline: January 15
