Cost of Attendance

Western's RN-to-BSN Program is state-supported, and the tuition is competitive with other comparable programs in the state. RN-to-BSN students pay the same tuition as any other undergraduates at the university. Western Financial Aid can help you to get started.

Tuition & Fees

To learn more about program costs please visit the Student Business Office website. The full-time, four quarter option is 12 credits per quarter and the part-time option is 6 credits per quarter for eight quarters.

Scholarships

For a list of scholarships available through the Woodring College of Education, please visit the Woodring Scholarship website. Please note that some are available only through the RN-to-BSN program and some are available to all Woodring students, including students in the RN-to-BSN program, using the application on the website. The program coordinator will also email scholarship opportunities to students after they have been admitted to the program.
