Transition from Community College to APU’s ADN to BSN Program

  Online

Azusa Pacific’s Bridge to Bachelor of Science in Nursing is designed for Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN) students at a community college who want to get an early start on coursework for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. A sequential enrollment option, students in the program take prerequisite courses with APU during the summers while completing their ADN at a community college. Then, following completion of the ADN, students transition to Azusa Pacific to complete their BSN degree.

Bridge to BSN students benefit from APU’s rigorous nursing courses, studying alongside passionate faculty-practitioners to gain the skills and knowledge needed to provide compassionate care and advance their nursing career. A focus on Christian values and ethics is infused into the curriculum to prepare nurses to care for the whole person.

APU also offers accelerated RN to BSN and RN to BSN online programs for working registered nurses.
