Degrees and Programs

Attention BSN and RN to BSN program students:

As of fall semester of 2014, degree requirements have significantly changed due to the launch of the University Core 39. Students who entered the University of Southern Indiana before the fall semester of 2014 may be required to complete the old University Core Curriculum. See previous versions of the USI Academic Bulletin for degree requirements for previous bulletin years.

The University of Southern Indiana Nursing Program prepares undergraduate and graduate students with the nursing knowledge, clinical skills, and professional values to provide quality, cost-effective nursing and health care to individuals, families, and communities.
