UTA.... Comments ??? Pros & cons?

Published

Hi! I've done extensive research and am narrowing down my search for the RN-BSN online program.. I do not

Live in Texas and am wondering if I will pay out of state tuition (I'm assuming I will), just not finding much info on that aspect. I would like to hear from those that are or have taken this program. How long is the admission process?

Thanks for your time! :)

You pay the affordable in-state tuition regardless of where you live. However, the major drawback is a Texas law that requires students to take Texas History and/or Texas Government if they wish to be granted a degree from a school based in Texas.

Other affordable RN-to-BSN programs include Fort Hays State Univ. ($182 per credit), Univ. of Louisiana at Lafayette ($290 per credit) and Western Governors (flat rate of $3250 per six month term).

I'm in Mass. and took this program. I finish in a few weeks. I found it to be very affordable (no in/out of state, same rate for all) and the selling point for me was that it is an actual brick and mortar school. I personally don't like the stigma that comes with online-only institutions. The fact that this school is regionally AND nationally accredited was huge too as I know I want an advanced degree so having a properly accredited school was important.

There aren't clinicals per se. For some courses, you will be required to do things like shadow a BSN/MSN at work, perform and document a physical assessment on someone of your choice, interview an elder for a "life review", et cetera. It's not too bad.

No clue about financial aid.
