R.N. Baccalaureate Program
Registered nurses with a valid registered nurse license who meet
University admission criteria may pursue, on a full- or part-time
basis, a bachelor of science degree with a major in nursing at UNH
in Durham, Keene, or at Manchester.
Curriculum requirements may be met through transfer credits, course
enrollments, and challenge examinations. An R.N. license and one
year of practice experience are required for all nursing coursework.
The nursing component is based on the belief that R.N. students
enter the program with knowledge and competence gained through previous
educational and work experiences. This knowledge and competence
can be demonstrated through completion of required baccalaureate-level
nursing courses. Individualized plans of study are developed to
enable completion of nursing content.
The R.N. student must earn a minimum of 128 credits and have a 2.50
cumulative grade-point average in order to enroll in clinical nursing
courses and maintain that grade-point average throughout their coursework.
A minimum grade of C is required in each nursing course.
Interested R.N.s should consult with the R.N. program advisor
at Keene or Manchester ljones@keene.edu.
