en-US Join us at the Doctor Phillips Nursing Pavilion in Lake Nona for an information session on the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree at UCF and learn about the unique admission requirements for each BSN program track. In this interactive information session, ask questions and find out what you need to know to successfully prepare your BSN program application.

Following the presentation, we will give a brief tour of the Doctor Phillips Nursing Pavilion so you can view the state-of-the-art labs and simulation spaces that foster innovation and enhance nursing education for Knight Nurses.

UCF’s BSN Information Sessions are designed to help prospective BSN students understand the process and steps for applying to UCF's limited-access, upper-division BSN programs, which include the traditional, second-degree and concurrent options. The online RN-to-BSN option will also be discussed. Attendees will learn about unique application requirements to practice and learn in clinical sites, prerequisite courses and grade requirements and other helpful information. This information session is open to anyone interested in applying to UCF College of Nursing's BSN program.

Attendance is not required of applicants, but it is encouraged. Attendees should plan to arrive early and stay for the entire presentation, which will last about one hour, followed by a question-and-answer session. There will be limited availability for one-on-one advising after the session.

BSN program options:

  • Traditional BSN is offered at three UCF campuses: Cocoa, Daytona Beach and Orlando.
  • Second Degree BSN is only offered at UCF Orlando and is designed for students who have a bachelor's degree or higher in a non-nursing discipline.
  • Concurrent ASN to BSN is offered at UCF Altamonte Springs (SSC) and UCF Valencia West, with on-campus classes, and then transitions online for the last one to two semesters after passing the NCLEX-RN.
  • Florida College System Concurrent ASN to BSN is offered online to students who have completed their first semester of an ASN program at any Florida College System program.
  • RN to BSN is offered online for licensed RNs who aim to advance their education with a BSN degree.

Thank you, and we look forward to chatting with you.
