What is the BSN Completion Program?
The BSN Completion program at UW is made for students wanting to enhance the knowledge
they already have about nursing. Choose from two options based on your previous schooling*:
- ReNEW: For current Wyoming community college students enrolled in an Associate Degree in Nursing program and graduates who completed the Wyoming ReNEW ADN curriculum.
- RN-BSN: For licensed RNs from non-ReNEW Associate Degree in Nursing or Diploma programs.
If you don’t fit the criteria for these options, check out our other nursing degrees!
* Enrollment or graduation from a Wyoming ADN ReNEW program is required for the ReNEW BSN option. An RN license is required for the RN-BSN option.
In addition to being entirely online, BSN Completion classes are given in half-semester increments, making it easier to fit them into your schedule.
In the UW BSN Completion program, you get to work with faculty members who are experts
in the medical field. Like most jobs, nursing careers are constantly evolving and
