Opportunity awaits

When you earn your online RN to BSN degree, professional possibilities await you. Not only does a BSN increase your earning potential — it also increases the breadth of opportunities available to you. Earning your BSN demonstrates that you have an in-depth knowledge of Nursing and can provide high-quality patient-centered care. Your BSN can also serve as a gateway to more advanced opportunities. BSN holders can go on to earn their master's degree and become advanced practice nurse practitioners (APRNs).

“I graduated with my associate degree as an RN in 1986. I postponed my bachelor's degree and took a hiatus from nursing for several years after having children. When I went back into nursing, it felt a lot like riding a bike in many ways, but I realized a lot had changed in the ten years I was away, so I decided to pursue my BSN. I wanted a program that would allow me to work and use my experience to enhance my learning. From the information session to the admissions process, UB made it easy to navigate, and they offered guidance when I needed it.”

— Maria Cantito, RN, BSN

Financial Aid

“Obtaining my BSN from the University of Bridgeport was a breeze. The enrollment period was super easy, and the program was manageable and fit right into my busy schedule. The professors were very reliable and made it easy to understand what was expected weekly. The program helped me develop a deeper understanding of the nursing profession while allowing me to have more flexibility in my nursing career. I really valued how helpful the staff was and how students were always able to reach out to someone for support. The program really helped me grow, not only as a better nurse, but as a better person.”

— Yanique Edwards, RN, BSN
