Georgia Southern online RN-to-BSN program ranked nationally for fastest, most affordable online RN-to-BSN programs
Georgia Southern University’s online RN to BSN program has been ranked No. 5 for Fastest Online RN-to-BSN Programs and No. 24 for Most Affordable Online RN-to-BSN Programs in the nation for 2020 by RNtoMSN.org.
“The flexibility built into the program of study allows students to complete the program at a pace that is comfortable for them,” Program Director Sheri Carey, DNP, said. ”The program can be completed in two semesters, which is one of the fastest in the nation. Most students choose to complete the program in three to four semesters.”
RNtoMSN.org analyzed more than 500 universities with online RN-to-BSN programs and based their ranking factors on a university’s academic reputation, student completions, average debt and earnings, and program costs.
The program consists of eight online courses that provide nurses with more advanced training to better care for patients.
“As a program within the University System of Georgia, tuition is significantly less than the tuition at a proprietary or for-profit school,” Carey said. “The program chooses books that can be used for more than one course, and some books are available through electronic course reserve in the library, which helps with the affordability of the program. The only fee students pay is for liability insurance, which they purchase through the university at a discounted rate.”

Georgia Southern student named Goldwater Scholar
Flowers, for many, may simply be a nice gift for a loved one or something to stop and smell along the way, but to Honors Program biology student Andrea Appleton, they are a window into the intricacies of daily life. Appleton’s research in botany and floral evolution were recognized this year when she was named a Goldwater Scholar, the highest national award for undergraduate students in the STEM majors.
