Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Penn State Nursing programs, including those at Penn State Harrisburg, prepare you to graduate and immediately enter a clinical setting or continue to graduate education. If you are a veteran nurse returning for a baccalaureate degree, you will be prepared to implement your new skills and knowledge in the workplace or to continue to graduate school. Penn State Nursing offers students exceptional undergraduate and graduate level academic programs, internationally-recognized research, highly regarded faculty, an extensive outreach network, and opportunities for international experience.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing prepares registered nurses as professional practitioners in health promotion and maintenance, illness care, and rehabilitation. Penn State Harrisburg offers the NURS-SCND (pre-license) option, an accelerated second baccalaureate degree.
