Message from the Chair

Opportunities for registered nurses are soaring. As the nation's population lives longer and more active lives, the demand for highly educated nurses has risen to provide front-line medical care. To keep abreast of an expanding field, registered nurses are enhancing their credentials to prepare them for management roles and to stay competitive in the workplace.

For over 100 years, the College of St. Scholastica has provided outstanding nursing education. For registered nurses, the completion of a baccalaureate degree can increase their marketability and income potential in today's nursing field.

The Online RN to Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program, delivered fully online, recognizes what registered nurses bring with them in terms of past education and experience. Students receive credit for their RN experience through the development of a nursing portfolio.

Shaped by the Catholic Benedictine heritage, the College of St. Scholastica provides intellectual and moral preparation for responsible living and meaningful work.

As a registered nurse, it is imperative to remain up-to-date with information through lifelong learning. The College of St. Scholastica provides the next logical steps to accomplishing this goal through convenience, and the opportunity to build lasting relationships.
