EUGENE, Ore. —  Lane Community College will launch its new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program this fall, expanding academic and career pathways for registered nurses across Oregon. Applications open June 5.

Lane’s RN to BSN program is an applied baccalaureate degree designed for licensed registered nurses seeking to advance their education, enhance their clinical and leadership skills, and expand their career opportunities. The program builds on the Associate Degree in Nursing and requires an unencumbered Oregon RN license for admission.

Students will complete upper-division coursework in areas such as population health, case management, health informatics, complex care, research, and healthcare policy. The 180-credit degree prepares graduates for a wide range of nursing roles in today’s healthcare system and supports continued study at the graduate level.

“This new BSN program reflects Lane’s commitment to meeting the workforce needs of our healthcare community,” said Jennifer Tavernier, director of nursing at Lane. “It offers flexibility and practical value for nurses who want to grow professionally and make a broader impact.”

More details about the program and the application process are available at lanecc.edu/bsn.
