How much does Walden University's RN to BSN program cost?

Walden University offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-BSN) Completion Program that requires a total of 181 credits to complete, of which 135 credits may be transferred in. The program requires 51 quarter credit hours of nursing courses. According to the program website, total estimated cost for the program is at $16,050 (the cost per quarter hour is at $335), including any required fees (e.g., technology fee).

As a way of helping students, Walden University offers a Tempo Competency-Based option that allows progress at the student's own pace and controlled cost. Through this option, students in the RN-BSN program pay a fixed subscription period tuition of $2,880 (plus a $75 technology fee) for a three-month subscription period for the program. The university also offers financial aid, tuition-reduction and scholarship options.

However, applicants should remember that since this is a completion program, entering students need either an associate degree in nursing or a nursing diploma and a current Registered Nurse (RN) license. This means that both options will enable a student to transfer credits towards the BN-BSN degree and decrease the number of credits needed to be taken. Interested applicants should speak with an enrollment specialist for more information.
