BSN at
South College
in Pittsburgh

In this traditional BSN program, you’ll work to build a strong academic and clinical foundation for future nursing opportunities. With classroom and laboratory instruction from our experienced instructors and hands-on clinical training in a medical facility, you’ll prepare to function as part of a healthcare team to provide collaborative, interdisciplinary care that improves patient outcomes. You’ll also focus on how to delegate tasks, supervise patient care, and evaluate personnel within a team setting.

In your upper division nursing courses, you’ll undertake a rigorous schedule with approximately 20 hours of in-class time per week, along with reading, analysis, and other work outside of the classroom. Courses explore mental health, pediatric, adult health, maternal infant, and community health nursing, as well as topics like nursing management and nursing research. By the time you earn your BSN, you’ll have worked to develop a strong academic and clinical foundation, as well as the skills and technical competence needed. You will be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN licensure exam.
