ADN/BSN Concurrent Enrollment Track

UT Tyler School of Nursing

Bachelor of Science in Nursing 

The concurrent Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN)/ Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing (BSN) is designed for motivated students currently enrolled in an accredited ADN program in the state of Texas as an alternative to the generic BSN. Students complete 30 hours of BSN level coursework at the same time they are enrolled in ADN courses. For the student seeking to graduate with honors, an additional 15 SCH must be taken in order to meet the University requirement of completing 45 SCH at UT Tyler to graduate with honors (see graduation with honors requirements).
