Two programs are offered:  Entry-level (pre-licensure) and an RN-BSN Online Completion program.

The Entry-level BSN program is a four-year program for new or transfer students entering YSU without a previous degree or diploma in nursing. The program prepares students for the registered nurse role. Graduates are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN examination for licensure as a Registered Nurse.

The RN-BSN Online Completion program is offered for students who are currently licensed as registered nurses and are returning to YSU to complete requirements for a baccalaureate degree. After completing prerequisites, the RN-BSN Online Completion program takes four semesters or more on a part-time basis, depending on the student's academic background.
