“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.”

Interdisciplinary Tutoring

The Deeann Griebel Student Success Center offers free walk-in tutoring in multiple courses such as the following: Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Accounting, Finance, and Environmental Science. Subject areas may vary each semester and is based on student need. Tutoring can help support retention and completion efforts, aid with course grade improvement, and improve college experience satisfaction. An advantage of interdisciplinary tutoring is the peer-facilitated learning experience, a service that is provided by fellow students who have successfully completed coursework in their tutoring subject areas and have been recommended by faculty. 

All SMSU students are eligible to receive free subject-specific tutoring in order to help them become more familiar and comfortable with challenging course content. We work with students from all backgrounds and abilities.
