Other degree requirements:

In addition to the nursing courses, all RN-BSN students are required to take 16 semester hours (s.h.) of Liberal Studies (LIBS) courses called the Quest. The Quest program is an interdisciplinary and integrated series of courses that revolve around a group of essential themes in the Humanities. Each course normally requires a certain amount of reading, writing, and online discussion. LIBS courses will typically be offered once a month during the entire four-semester (16-month) program.

In addition to the Quest courses (16 hours), graduation requirements for the RN-BSN program also include:
• Maintaining a GPA of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale
• Completion of program surveys
• Graduation: Competency assessment

NOTE: If students transfer fewer than 76 semester hours, additional courses will be required to complete 124 total semester hours in order to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. King College requires 48 semester hours be completed through courses offered by King, to include at least 32 semester hours of the major subject, in order to receive a degree from King College.

The additional courses may be taken prior to, during, or following the completion of course work for the BSN degree. All students who are enrolled full-time may complete 12 credits but may not exceed 16 credits in any given term.
