What you'll need

  • Transcripts

TMCC offers only an RN to BSN completion program (online, 8-week asynchronous format), not a pre-licensure BSN; pre-licensure is the ADN. Full-time 12-month option plus a part-time/concurrent track for students still in an ADN program. Requires an associate degree or diploma from a regionally accredited nursing program, a current unencumbered RN license (or letter of good standing; recent graduates must be licensed within seven weeks of acceptance), cumulative GPA 2.75 or higher, official transcripts and government ID; a TMCC admission application plus a separate RN to BSN program application by the posted deadline.

Checked Oct 2026 on the school's site. Requirements change each cycle, so confirm before you apply.
