Eastern Connecticut State University, Connecticut’s public liberal arts college with an enrollment about 4000, opened a BSN program last year. My GS is a freshman in the program’s 2nd class, and is liking it very much.

Providence College also opened a new BSN program last year and a new building for the School of Nursing last month.

Not BRAND new but it only opened in 2020, Lehigh University added a college of health which includes nursing degrees of course.

I do not think Lehigh University offers a BSN outside of ROTC.

oh, that’s too bad. Maybe it will come in the future.

Juniata College has launched a BSN program. First class starting Fall 2025.
