How to Apply to the R.N. to B.S Nursing Programs

The Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-BS) program is a 37.5-credit major of the total 120 credits required for graduation. The RN-BS program is offered both fully Online and In-person (Traditional). It is designed to specifically prepare Registered Nurses, with an unencumbered New York State license, for professional nursing practice and provides a foundation for graduate study in nursing.

Prerequisite courses, including college-level mathematics, college-level chemistry, and HIN 268: Human Growth and Development (or their approved equivalents), as well as verification of RN licensure, must be completed before registering for any nursing courses.

Steps to Apply:

1. Complete the CUNY Application to Lehman College
   • Applications for the online RN-BS program are accepted for both the Spring and Fall semesters.
   • The Traditional (in-person or hybrid) RN-BS program admits students for the Fall semester only.
   • To start your application, visit the CUNY Application Portal.
2. Upload Your RN License & Registration
   • Applicants who have already obtained their RN license and registration should upload a copy in the Supporting Materials section of the CUNY application.
   • If you have not yet taken or passed the NCLEX-RN examination, you should still submit your CUNY application to Lehman College by the priority deadline. You may submit proof of RN licensure after passing the NCLEX.
3. Admission Consideration
   • Upon admission to Lehman College, you will be considered for the RN-BS nursing program.
   • The Nursing Admissions Team will contact you via your registered email address on your CUNY application with additional information regarding your RN-BS program application and any outstanding requirements.
