WGU Nursing program pathway to RN is only for certain states and I do not reside in any of the states. Otherwise you would need to already be an RN in order to do the RN- BSN.
I called NAU them and it sounds like they have a very interesting program.
A lot of writing. Each class can be tested out by doing a written test. The system uses algorithms to determine if it is really you typing for each test. The test themselves are not proctored. So they must put a lot of faith in the system to determine whether you cheating or not.
Notable things I got from my conversation with the enrollment counselor.
For THE BS degree You will need to do some science courses. You need to either transfer in 4 science classes or take them. Astronomy was one of them. I can't remember the other 3. You do not need to worry about labs.
For liberal arts you need to take a Spanish course. I believe you need an x amount of language credits.
The way it works is you call them up. They send you links for you to do the assessment. Math, Reading, and Writing. After that you pay your fees and you start.
The counselor told me that unlike Hodges, which only allows you to do two classes at a time. All the classes are open. Which is interesting. I wish Hodges would do that because I seem to get burnt out on classes.
