Baccalaureate Nursing
Nursing is a challenging career that incorporates theory, complex technology and caring. Baccalaureate nursing graduates provide research / theory based nursing care to healthy and ill individuals, families and communities in a variety of health care settings including clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and outpatient facilities.
The Winning Combination UT / BGSU
As a consortium nursing program, The University of Toledo (UT) and Bowling Green State University (BGSU) make the Baccalaureate Nursing Program innovative and unique. This is a chance to combine the best of both worlds - the excitement of college life coupled with the challenge of a clinical setting and a stimulating health science center. Students choose the university that best meets their needs.
Bowling Green State University (BGSU), with 20,300 students, is located in the heart of the city of Bowling Green, Ohio.
The University of Toledo (UT) with about 19,000 students, is located just six miles west of downtown Toledo.
Undergraduate students who decide to enter nursing programs at UT or BGSU take general education, liberal arts and sciences at their respective universities. Students attend UT Health Science Campus as junior and senior students for nursing courses and clinical experiences. The Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing is awarded by the respective university.
By taking advantage of the exceptional advising services and academic / clinical learning opportunities available, graduates enjoy increased professional autonomy and career mobility; new levels of competence and confidence; and thorough preparation for meeting the demands of a changing health care system. A Departmental Honors Program is available in Nursing.
Accreditation and Approval
The College of Nursing is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and has full approval of the Ohio Board of Nursing.
Basic BSN and RN/BSN
The Undergraduate Nursing Program has two tracks to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. Students who are Associate Degree or diploma graduates and are licensed as registered nurses, enter the RN/BSN track. This track has outreach campuses at BGSU Firelands College, Huron, OH., and in Lima and Archbold, OH. The basic BSN track is for students entering the nursing profession.
