“The SMSU RN to BSN Program does not have you take a set amount of credits each semester. This flexible scheduling was perfect for me as it allowed me to vary the amount of credits I took each semester. I would have struggled without that flexibility as I am a non-traditional student who is also a wife, mother of four, and worked full time while completing my degree. This program is designed to fit into your life, whether you want to be a full-time or part-time student.”

A Blueprint for Success

SMSU students learn by creating and using their skills on the Mustang Blueprint podcast. Students from business, marketing, and other majors work together to invite guests, interview local business owners, edit recordings, and share each episode. The podcast gives students a fun, hands-on way to build communication, teamwork, and organizational skills. It also helps them connect what they learn in class with local businesses.
