The Pathways to BSN Track is a flexible 89 credit curriculum designed for individuals seeking a direct path to complete a BSN degree. JFK Muhlenberg Snyder School of Nursing and Kean University have collaborated to streamline an articulation to an upper division BSN program.
The Pathways to BSN Track will enable the student to complete a BSN in three semesters after receiving the AS Degree from UNION County College and a Diploma in Nursing from JFK Medical Center Muhlenberg Harold B. and Dorothy A. Snyder School of Nursing. In addition, the student will benefit by taking core nursing and humanities courses at Kean University with the overall outcome of preparing students to transition into a BSN program.
In this daytime-only track, accepted JFK Muhlenberg Snyder School of Nursing students will be enrolled in the three institutions: JFK Medical Center Muhlenberg Harold B. and Dorothy A. Snyder School of Nursing/UNION County College and Kean University. Once accepted, students will be required to complete application to UNION County College and Kean University and pay the corresponding application fees. The students will follow the curriculum design for the Generic Track at JFK Muhlenberg Snyder School of Nursing, and will also take several courses required of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. It is anticipated that students who select this track can complete the course work for the Diploma/Associate in Science Degree in one pre-enrolled semester and five enrolled semesters and then continue their education at Kean University. It should take approximately three additional semesters for the completion of the Bachelor Degree in Nursing from Kean University.
Admission Requirements for the Pathways to BSN Track are the same as for the Generic Track plus:
- Same Admission Exam results as the Accelerated Track
- Declare intention for BSN Track upon application to The School of Nursing
The application process for JFK Muhlenberg Snyder Schools, UNION County College and Kean University will be handled through the JFK Muhlenberg Snyder Schools. Individuals seeking this track will be enrolled in JFK Muhlenberg Snyder School of Nursing, UNION County College and Kean University. Pathways to BSN Track students will be considered eligible for the Pathways to BSN Track until they have successfully completed all the Pre-Enrolled Courses (BIO 105, CHE 105, ENG 101, and PSY 101). These courses may be taken only once. The student must earn a grade of “C” or higher in each course, the first time the course is taken.
The students seeking this BSN track must complete the upper division requirements at Kean University immediately following graduation from JFK Muhlenberg Snyder Schools/UNION County College and receiving their RN license. Any JFK Muhlenberg Snyder School of Nursing graduate enrolled in this track will complete the BSN degree within a maximum of two (2) years.
