Eastern Michigan University
Eastern Michigan University (EMU) is a public institution offering both undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The university is in Ypsilanti, Michigan which is about 35 miles west of Detroit. The university was founded as the Michigan State Normal School in 1849. It was the first normal school in Michigan and the first outside of the original 13 colonies. It is now comprised of seven schools and colleges, including the College of Health and Human Services. The campus has expanded over the years and includes over 120 buildings spread across 800 acres. The total enrollment for the 2017 school year was more than 23,000 students.
Students wishing to enroll in a nursing program can choose from a traditional BSN, RN to BSN, and accelerated BSN program, depending on their existing education. The RN to BSN program is for registered nurses with at least a bachelor’s degree. The traditional BSN program requires students to complete general education requirements, which are typically completed during the freshman year. The school prefers to accept students into this program that have completed at least six months or more of paid work experience. This experience does not need to be a full-time job. However, the experience should be in a healthcare-related field. The school also offers two graduate-level programs, including an MSN program and a PhD program. These programs are all accredited by the CCNE.
