Pre-Nursing Program
Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program at Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT)

The pre-nursing program at the Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) is designed to help students complete the prerequisite coursework necessary for entrance into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). This pre-nursing program prepares students to apply to the OHSU School of Nursing program. Once admitted, students spend an additional three years completing the required coursework to earn their BSN.
Through a partnership between OIT and OHSU, students have the opportunity to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing, with coursework delivered on the Oregon Tech campus. The BSN degree is awarded by OHSU.
Faculty from OHSU provide instruction for clinical coursework, while faculty from Oregon Tech teach the prerequisite and general education courses.
Because admission to BSN programs is highly competitive, students work closely with pre-nursing advisors from OHSU on the OIT campus to tailor their academic plans and strengthen their preparation for entry into OHSU or other nursing programs nationwide.
