Compare 362 confirmed RN to BSN schools, grouped by state. Find a school you already have in mind or narrow your options by annual in-state tuition, delivery format and institution type.

Start with your state below. For a cost-and-graduation-rate comparison across the country, explore the 290 programs in our national ranking.

How to Build an RN to BSN Shortlist

Use the directory to build a shortlist near home or compare an online option with local schools. Each row pairs the institution's federal tuition and graduation figures with delivery details from school sources. Within each state, ranked programs appear in score order, followed by unranked programs alphabetically.

Our national ranking weights annual in-state tuition at 55% and institutional graduation rate at 45%. Use those figures as a starting point, then compare the transfer-credit evaluation and remaining degree cost the school provides for your own transcript.

The online RN to BSN rankings combine ranked cards with program-specific research on schedules, credit requirements and practical coursework. For a local comparison, explore our 24 state rankings.

Every row here admits nurses who already hold an RN license. If you are weighing a different bridge — one that starts from a practical or vocational license, or one that finishes at a master's — the bridge routes guide sets out which license each one admits and what each leads to.

How to Read a Row

In-state tuition and institutional graduation rates come from IPEDS. Delivery labels summarize school-stated requirements; check the linked rankings for program profiles and official sources.

Keep these distinctions in mind when comparing schools.

  • Annual tuition is not your completion-degree price. Compare the school's RN-to-BSN rate, required credits and fees before setting a budget. Your remaining coursework depends on the credits the school accepts.
  • The graduation rate is institutional. IPEDS measures it for first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduates. It is not an RN-to-BSN completion rate and should not be read as your likelihood of graduating.
  • Online classes can still involve local practice. Confirm clinical placements, project hours, campus visits and live class meetings for the RN completion track before committing to a schedule.

RN to BSN Programs by State

The directory holds programs in 47 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The figure after each name is how many are in it, and the sections themselves run largest first.

Compare annual in-state tuition, institutional graduation rates and school-stated delivery. Blank cells indicate values not included in this directory, not zero cost or a campus-attendance requirement.

Sources and Methodology

IPEDS groups RN-to-BSN completion tracks and traditional pre-licensure BSN programs under CIP 51.3801. This directory uses school-source checks to identify completion tracks for licensed nurses, rather than treating every bachelor's nursing record as an RN-to-BSN program.

The 290 scored programs use the same cost-and-graduation-rate model as the national and state rankings. Delivery format, completion time and accreditation are separate attributes, not score components. Read the full methodology for eligibility requirements, scoring weights and data limitations.

Questions About the RN to BSN Directory

Which RN to BSN schools are included?
The directory contains 362 confirmed completion programs for nurses who already hold an RN license. It includes both ranked and unranked programs, grouped by the institution's state. Traditional pre-licensure BSN programs are a different pathway. Our methodology explains how completion tracks qualify for inclusion.
Why do some programs have no score?
Ranking eligibility requires a positive in-state tuition figure, an institutional graduation rate and at least 10 bachelor's nursing awards in the federal data. 290 programs meet those requirements; 72 are listed without a score, with the eligibility reason shown beside each. An unranked listing is not a judgment about program quality.
Does fully online mean there is nothing to attend in person?
Online coursework and in-person practice requirements are separate questions. Before applying, ask about live class meetings, campus visits and clinical or community placements in your location. Our online RN to BSN rankings include school-specific profiles to help compare those requirements.
How should I check nursing accreditation?
Verify the specific baccalaureate nursing program in the accreditor's current directory and on the school's official site. Accreditation is displayed separately from the ranking score. Our nursing accreditation guide explains CCNE, ACEN and NLN CNEA and the questions to ask before enrolling.

The 290 scored programs in this directory are the same cohort as the national ranking, cut by state instead of by score. What is scored and what is deliberately not is in the methodology; what registered nurses earn, state by state, is on the salary page.
