The Part-time Post RN BScN program was comprehensively revised in 2008, and is based on the completion of a total of 63 credits. The new curriculum is designed to reflect and enhance the professional knowledge, competencies, and experience of Post RN students. The new program allows students to customize their program, and select nursing electives in areas that will support individualized needs and interests, and professional nursing practices.

The curriculum for specialty certificates is derived from the Part-time Post RN BScN program. All courses taken as components of a certificate program or as an individual special interest course are fully transferable into the degree program.

The courses in the program's Distance Education schedule are built around correspondence material (Print and Online).

• Home-study reading/assignments, supplemented by online and print resouces and toll-free phone consultations with instructor and tech support.
