Cambridge Campus

Program Information

Granted by Bemidji State University, the Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program available at Anoka-Ramsey Community College has a 26 year history at Bemidji State and a 90% graduation rate

The faculty-student relationship is one of collaboration among colleagues and the program is structured to focus on adult learner needs: 

  • Prior experience and knowledge are acknowledged, valued, and expanded upon; thus students learn from each other as well as the professors
  • Students have a high degree of freedom to make choices and design learning experiences to fit their individual needs and interests
  • Designed for working professionals with a blended format (combination of on campus and online courses) to accommodate busy nurses who have jobs and families and who may commute long distances:  Full-time and part-time options
  • Clinical experiences are arranged in a variety of sites as close to the student's home as possible. 

  • Students must be admitted to Bemidji State University and the RN to BS program. Once admitted to Bemidji State and the nursing program go to: “myBSU” at: https://www.bemidjistate.edu/mybsu/ click on E-Services in the bottom right-hand corner.
