The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program equips students to become skilled, independent nursing professionals capable of taking on greater responsibilities and leadership roles in patient care. Students can pursue the degree through two pathways: the prelicensure BSN for new nursing students or the RN-BSN for current registered nurses. Both options are available in traditional on-campus and fast-track online formats. The prelicensure BSN track offers comprehensive training for aspiring nurses, helping them smoothly transition into the dynamic healthcare field.
The curriculum includes hands-on training across diverse healthcare settings, from hospitals to community organizations like schools, home care services, long-term care facilities, and childcare centers, ensuring well-rounded clinical experience.
Students must have completed official secondary school transcripts, diplomas, certificates and/or national test examination scores as appropriate for the educational systems in their country. In order to be considered for freshman admission students must have completed secondary school studies equivalent to that of United States high school graduation.
Official SAT I or ACT scores are required for entering freshmen with less than 24 semester hours of university level course work (equivalent to one year of full time study).
 
The minimum acceptable score on the TOEFL is 79 on the Internet-based test, 550 on the paper-based test and 213 on the computer-based test. The IELTS can be substituted for TOEFL scores. The minimum acceptable overall score of 6.5 is required for admission. Scores must be sent directly to UT Arlington from the Testing Service to be considered official.
