About

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is provided through a transfer partnership with Kettering College in Kettering, Ohio.

Students qualifying for the program can complete a prescribed curriculum consisting of three semesters of full-time study at Burman University and two years of full-time study (six semesters) at Kettering College. When applying to Burman University for the first three semesters, students must meet the application requirements set by the university. When transferring to Kettering College for the final two years, students must meet the application requirements as outlined by Kettering College.

The prelicensure Bachelor of Science in nursing degree is an innovative program designed to prepare individuals for professional nursing practice and leadership. The degree consists of 127-128 semester credits, including 64 credits from arts and science courses and 63 nursing credits. Students begin by taking a year of prerequisite arts and science courses which provide a solid foundation to begin nursing courses in year two of the program.

Students enroll full time in the program and attend courses at Burman University for a year and half (fall, winter, and fall semesters), then transfer to Kettering College for two years of full time study (fall, winter and summer semesters). Graduates are qualified to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) in the state of their choice or Canada. Clinical experiences take place at Kettering College. As an integral part of the Kettering Medical Center and the Kettering Health Network, a rich array of clinical experiences occur within the hospitals of the Kettering Health Network, as well as in a variety of excellent healthcare facilities within the community.

As part of this partnership students transferring from Burman University to Kettering College will be able to pay their Kettering College fees on par with the Canadian dollar while at Kettering.
