New Delivery Model, Same Quality Nursing Education!

As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, Curry College is committed to ensuring that our RN-BS nursing program provides you with the best possible education and support to help you succeed.

Beginning with the Fall 2025 enrollment, our nursing programs will transition to a cohort model. This new structure is designed to enhance student support, foster a collaborative learning environment, and strengthen student progression through the program.

Under the cohort model, you will advance through your nursing education alongside a consistent group of peers, creating strong professional and academic relationships. This model promotes a sense of community, peer mentorship, and a more structured learning experience, all of which are critical to your success in the program and beyond.

We will be hosting a series of information sessions beginning in June 2025. These sessions will provide an overview of the cohort model, details on the student experience, and an opportunity to address any questions you may have. We strongly encourage you to attend and learn how this approach will support your journey toward becoming a nursing professional.

We are excited about this transition and the benefits it will bring to our students. If you have any immediate questions or would like to express your interest in the program, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for considering Curry College RN-BS Nursing Program for your education. We look forward to welcoming you into our community and supporting you on your path to a rewarding nursing career.

Why Earn Your BS in Nursing? 

As a Registered Nurse, there is no better way to prepare for the growing demands of the dynamic workplace than to further your education. Learning has no age limit. Here are some of the reasons given by RNs regarding their decision to enter Curry's RN-BS Nursing Program:

  • Provides career advancement and broaden career options in the nursing field
  • Enhances personal and professional growth
  • Improves critical-thinking skills
  • Increases understanding of health care bureaucracy and policies
  • Augments ability to act as a change agent and patient advocate
  • Enables the pursuit of future graduate education

Why Curry?

  • Competitively priced tuition with no additional fees
  • Our generous transfer credit policy accepts up to 90 credits, including science class, no matter how long ago you completed the courses
  • Your RN license automatically awards you 34 transfer credits

RN to Baccalaureate (BSN, BS or Bachelor of Science in Nursing) programs provide an efficient bridge for diploma and ADN-prepared nurses who wish to develop stronger clinical reasoning and analytical skills to advance their careers. RN-to-BS programs build on initial nursing preparation with course work to enhance professional development, prepare for a broader scope of practice, and provide a better understanding of the cultural, political, economic, and social issues that affect patients and influence care delivery. While a BS in nursing and a BSN are different degrees, they are essentially interchangeable in the field of nursing.
