Nursing Bachelor’s

About Sage’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing

You may pursue your Nursing bachelor’s degree full time or part time. The first two years include general education courses and prerequisites; the last two years include nursing-intensive classes (54 credits) and clinical rotations (720 clinical hours).

You’ll be introduced to faculty-directed clinicals in state-of-the-art simulation labs. After you gain experience there, you’ll transition to a variety of clinical settings, including acute and community-based care of adult (including geriatric), pediatric, maternal/child (including labor and delivery), psychiatric and community populations.

In your last semester, you’ll select an expanded clinical rotation (240 hours) with a patient population of interest.

After you earn your Bachelor of Science in Nursing, you’ll be eligible to take the initial NCLEX-RN licensure examination. Upon passing, you’ll be able to pursue job opportunities across the country.
