International Student: Online RN-BSN + In-Person Major

Published

Hi everyone! I'm currently on an F-1 visa and about to graduate with my AAS in Nursing. After taking the NCLEX and (hopefully) getting my RN, I want to continue with an RN-BSN program. The issue I'm running into is that the universities I'm looking at only offer the RN-BSN pathway fully online.

To maintain my F-1 status, I was thinking about declaring a second major so I can take in-person classes for that major, while doing the RN-BSN online. Has anyone done something similar? Would this be okay in terms of maintaining visa status? I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you!
