University of Florida College of Nursing

The University of Florida is a public university in Gainesville, Florida, and it is part of the State University System of Florida, along with nine other campuses throughout the state. Gainesville is a sprawling city with a low cost of living, making it the perfect setting for students paying their way through college. The 2,000-acre campus is also a sprawling location with buildings spread throughout a large area. The university receives accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and is the third largest university in the state. The University of Florida offers over 300 different degrees for undergraduates and graduates through 16 colleges and over 150 research and education centers.

Despite the size of the university, there is no Master of Science in Nursing degree offered. However, the University of Florida does offer BSN, accelerated BSN, BSN to DNP, BSN to Ph.D., and DNP programs. For registered nurses, the university offers an RN to BSN program. This program is offered entirely online and is offered to nurses who are registered in the state of Florida. The traditional BSN path is only intended for students who are already enrolled at the University of Florida or transfer students who have completed the prerequisite courses. The BSN programs are accredited by the CCNE.
