The program emphasis includes clinical nursing practice, health promotion and maintenance, and preparation for assuming leadership roles. The baccalaureate curriculum also provides you with the foundation for graduate study in nursing if you choose to continue your education.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With flexible, convenient and affordable options, you can complete your degree while balancing school, work and life. Ready to get started? Explore the <a href=\"https://nursing.ucf.edu/admissions/bachelors-degrees/#faqs\">application process and requirements</a> for UCF BSN degrees. Please note that UCF nursing programs are limited access. You must be admitted to UCF before you can apply to the College of Nursing's BSN program.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nationally accredited by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), our nursing programs meet the educational eligibility criteria for licensure as a registered nurse (RN) in the state of Florida.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Traditional BSN</strong><br>\r\nThe traditional BSN provides you with a basis for professional nursing practice. The program has four tracks: traditional, accelerated second degree, concurrent and RN to BSN. Admission is limited and occurs once a year on UCF's Orlando, Cocoa and Daytona Beach campuses. You'll want to apply to this program prior to your junior year of college.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Second Degree BSN</strong><br>\r\nIf you have a non-nursing bachelor's degree and are now pursuing a career in nursing, you'll want to select the <a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/nursing-bsn/accelerated-second-degree-bsn/\">second degree BSN</a> track. A full-time ‘lock-step’ program, it takes four consecutive semesters to complete, including summers. Admission is limited and occurs each summer on UCF's Orlando campus.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Concurrent ASN to BSN</strong><br>\r\nThis path provides qualified students with an opportunity to take ASN courses at approved state colleges while concurrently taking BSN courses at UCF. You'll complete your ASN degree with more than half of your BSN credits already earned, allowing you to complete your BSN degree from UCF sooner.</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/nursing-rn-bsn/concurrent-asn-to-bsn-seminole-state-track/\">Seminole State/UCF Concurrent Track</a></li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/nursing-rn-bsn/concurrent-asn-to-bsn-valencia-college-track/\">Valencia College/UCF Concurrent Track</a></li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/nursing-rn-bsn/as-to-bs/\">Florida College System Concurrent Track</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>RN to BSN</strong><br>\r\nIf you're currently a registered nurse with an associate degree or diploma in nursing, the <a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/nursing-rn-bsn/rn-bsn/\">RN to BSN</a> track provides you with an opportunity to earn a BSN. Each applicant is reviewed individually and guided to prevent repetition of previous coursework. Courses are primarily online with some face-to-face classes.
