The Georgia State University traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is designed for students who do not hold licensure as registered nurses. The BSN program is built on a strong foundation of liberal arts education that includes mathematics, sciences, language arts, social sciences, as well as theoretical and clinical nursing practice. The program is designed to be completed in eight academic semesters. The first four semesters are comprised of University System of Georgia Core curriculum and prerequisites for nursing majors. The final four semesters are centered on the nursing major curriculum and relevant electives. Students learn the essentials of nursing care in the classroom, nursing lab, simulation centers, clinical facilities and community-based agencies. Through the program students build clinical judgment skills by incorporating theoretical knowledge and nursing practice skills in simulated and real world clinical situations.
