Education that works for working adults — Many students, who already juggle full schedules of work, family and community, say that the compressed format of one night a week is a deciding factor in their ability to attend college and achieve their degree. Our alumni report that better positions, increased responsibilities and access to promotions are some of the significant benefits of the Goshen College degree.

B.S.N. Completion Track

The B.S.N. degree-completion track of the Goshen College nursing program allows registered nurses to complete a B.S.N. in about 19 months. The track is designed to affirm personal and professional strengths. Students are actively involved in identifying their strengths and their learning needs. Self-directed study is promoted. Study guides are provided to maximize off-campus study and in-class activities. The collaborative education process makes student experiences and insights a vital part of classroom activities.

Each group consists of 10-15 R.N.s who progress through the courses together. Classes meet on-campus one night a week for four hours and vary in length from two to seven weeks. The same night of the week is used for your group throughout the program. Clinical experiences for specified courses will be arranged at other times during the week. There are 13 courses providing 40 credit hours, of which 28 are upper-level nursing credits.

Organizational Leadership Program (OLP)

The Organizational Leadership Program challenges individuals to grow as managers. The program provides 40 hours of credit in approximately 18 months. The Organizational Leadership Program prepares people to manage and lead people more effectively. Through a thoughtful blend of theory and application, learners are able to understand what works – and why. Solid textbooks, the best current articles, experienced faculty and mature learners allow the Organizational Leadership Program to challenge individuals to grow as managers – and as people.

Students meet one evening a week for 18 months with the same group to complete the program. These 40 credits, together with your previous college credits, credit for learning through life experience and any other necessary credit will give you a B.S. degree in organizational leadership from Goshen College.
