University of Wyoming RN to BSN online pros/cons

[stevenfmurray]

Most of the info that I've found on this forum about UofW is at least a few years old, so I wanted to start a new discussion.

I'm in the second (last) year of my ADN program at a "brick and mortar" school in Charleston, SC and am looking into different online BSN options. Want to know the pros/cons of University of Wyoming's online RN to BSN program. I only want to discuss this specific program, and would especially appreciate input from people who have already done it or are in it now. So far I know:

Pros:

Very affordable

BSN classes can be completed in 1 year

Cons:

Have to pay for admission before any transcript evaluation will be done

Have to take a few courses like WY history and their pharm and patho courses

Anyone have any other input? Especially course format. Online discussions? Projects?-group or individual? Papers?

Thanks in advance...

Hi

hoping to start at university of wyoming in january. Does only one teacher teach the course?

Is ther a teachers that you would recommend at the school. I think i willneed stats.

I haven't math in years do they offer any tutoring for the online program.

Also how much time do need to set a side each week for each class.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks

The online courses are set up with weeekly discussion boards. The assignments are usually due by midnight on Sunday. The class is taught by one instructor, using printed lecture format, power point, and links to other sites. The instructor also post additional comments and suggestions as the class progresses. There is an online tutoring component on the student website, but I have not used it. The amount of time needed for each assignment is variable, it depends on the assignment.
