The RN to BSN track prepares nurses with leadership, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice skills to positively impact diverse patients, families, and communities. The program is designed to promote student success by providing concepts that can be directly applied to nursing practice. AUCON provides clinical opportunities for experiential learning in nursing concepts such as community health, interprofessional experiences, and nursing leadership.

The concurrent RN to BSN provides a pathway for students who are prerequisite complete and accepted to an associate's degree in nursing program at a community college. Concurrent students enroll in BSN classes at AUCON while taking associate's degree classes at the community college and graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree typically one semester after completing the associate's degree. 

Taught by the same nursing faculty who teach on campus, this program offers start dates in fall, spring, or summer and flat-rate tuition that is the same for in-state and out-of-state students.
