Bachelor of Science in Nursing

EARN YOUR BSN IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS

The Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing Program at Sumner College is the only program in Oregon and Washington State that does not require students to complete prerequisite coursework prior to applying.  Traditional ‘prerequisite’ courses are embedded in our 12 term program, allowing you to start working as a registered nurse in less time.  We allow students who have completed college-level coursework at other institutions to transfer up to 25% of their credits. Each credit transferred reduces your tuition cost.

Sumner College is institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES), a U.S. Department of Education-recognized national accrediting agency. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

Let’s talk about numbers. Our retention rate for our nursing programs the last reporting year is 98%. Yes, 98% of those who started one of our nursing programs during the last reporting year graduated. According to BLS, the average registered nurse salary in Oregon is $98,630, ranking one of the highest in the entire nation. Registered Nursing is expected to be one of the fastest growing professions as well, with an estimated growth of 15.2% over the next 10 years.

If your Dream is to become a registered nurse, we can help you get there. While most schools are only interested in your GPA, we are interested in you. Your acceptance is based on a combination of TEAS exam scores, a panel interview, and essays that allow you to tell us your story.
