Pre-licensure BSN Program to Welcome First Cohort in January 2021

Ferrum College has added a pre-licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), which will launch with its first cohort in January 2021. The new BSN program complements the College’s existing and completely online RN to BSN program (read more on next page) that launched in fall 2020. The nursing programs are among a host of new offerings Ferrum College has added to its repertoire in just over a year, including a graduate school and various new majors.

“If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that nurses are national heroes,” said Ferrum College President David Johns. “Our nursing students will be prepared to strengthen the health and well-being of their communities and promote the College’s motto, Not Self, But Others.”

“We are thrilled to receive Board of Nursing approval to offer a pre-licensure BSN,” said Nursing Division Chair and Associate Professor Kim Brown. “This program comes at a critical time for Ferrum College, surrounding communities, and our clinical partners in the region.”
