Challenge yourself and enjoy a strong competitive advantage in your nursing career with our bachelor of science program.

The Nursing BS is UMass Boston's traditional bachelor's option (2.5-4 years of academic study) pre-licensure program for future nurses who aren't yet RN certified. Experience rigorous academic work and a carefully designed plan of study with built-in support for your success.

You'll be mentored by world-renowned faculty with a focus on improving equity and diversity. Our professors view nursing as a calling, not just a career, and they are committed to reducing healthcare disparities, improving quality of life, and informing health policy.

You will also benefit immensely from clinical placements in Greater Boston’s finest health care institutions, such as Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Children’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Good Samaritan-Brockton, and the VA Medical Centers, among many others.

Career Possibilities

At the end of the traditional nursing program, you'll be ready to take the national examination for state licensure (NCLEX) and become a Registered Nurse (RN). The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of registered nurses to grow 6% from 2021 to 2031. 

As an RN, you can find positions in:

  • Ambulatory care facilities
  • Clinics
  • Doctor's offices
  • Educational services, such as schools
  • Government services
  • Hospice care
  • Hospitals
  • Residential care and long-term care facilities

Note: Outside of Massachusetts, this program may not meet all requirements for licensure or certification in the state in which you plan to be licensed or certified. Please check with your state's licensing board. At this time there are no known RN License conflicts.
