LPN to BSN Program

LPN to BSN Program at SWOSU

The LPN to BSN program is an online BSN completion program (with the exception of clinical practical experiences). This program is designed for those who already hold an unencumbered Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) license.

The BSN curriculum builds upon previous nursing and general education course work. The program is designed to support educational mobility and to strengthen professional growth and leadership abilities of nurses who already have a foundation in the profession.

Application Deadline

The SWOSU LPN-to-BSN program track is not currently accepting new students. In November 2026, SWOSU Nursing will present an updated program plan with enhanced clinical hours to the Oklahoma Board of Nursing for review. The Board will then determine when the program may resume admitting students.

If approval is granted, Spring 2027 is the earliest anticipated admission term. Admission for Spring 2027 is not guaranteed and remains contingent upon the Oklahoma Board of Nursing’s decision.

Prospective students who would like to receive program updates may join our interest list by emailing lpn-bsn@swosu.edu.

Students seeking advisement or information about prerequisite and enrollment requirements are encouraged to contact the SWOSU Department of Nursing at 580-774-3065.
