The undergraduate program is comprised of two tracks, both culminating in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and preparing graduates to continue their education at the master's level. Which track a student pursues is determined by her or his previous academic preparation.
The prelicensure track is designed for students who are not yet recognized nurses and who are pursuing initial professional nursing education. Satisfactory completion of the generic track entitles the graduate to take the National Council Licensure EXamination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and, with a successful exam score, become a registered nurse prepared for general practice in hospitals, community agencies, and other health care environments.

The RN-BSN Advanced Track is for registered nurses who have graduated from an accredited associate degree or diploma nursing program, who have successfully completed the National Council Licensure Exam for RNs (NCLEX-RN), and who are currently licensed to practice nursing in the state of Georgia.
