RN to BSN EMU or WMU

U.S.A. Michigan

Published

Hi,

I am deciding between EMU and WMU for my RN to BSN. Both programs are totally online. Western Michigan University is $13,300 and Eastern's is $9,800. My biggest concern is that WMU, MSU and UofM Flint all have leadership clinicals, but Eastern has some in it's capstone class but not as many as the other 3 schools. I want to go on for my Nurse Practitioner, so I want to make sure Eastern is a good school. (Why are you so cheap, what's the catch Eastern?) Does anyone have any advice for me?

Thanks.

I opted to do online through , so far I've finished two classes since starting in July. My manager is working to get it approved to tuition reimbursement since it's CCNE accredited like UM-FLint, EMU etc but they are competency based, prove you know it and move on. Even if I don't get tuition support, I can complete the program in 1 year it'll end up being cheaper than EMU after tuition support. EMU's program actually used to cost more, first time I looked into several years ago it was closer to the 13K mark, they since opened an agreement with UM employees and I noticed it was cheaper. UM-Flint is still crazy expensive to me as I get no financial gain at work for getting my BSN
