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.
