Nursing programs at Bellevue University
According to federal completion records, Bellevue University awards nursing credentials at the bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN) level. A recent year’s totals include about 33 bachelor’s-level nursing graduates. A bachelor’s program is the traditional four-year route to RN licensure and the usual starting point for later graduate study; see our ADN vs. BSN guide if you are still deciding on a degree level. That is a relatively small annual graduating class, so ask how many seats open each year.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $10,100 a year. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $11,700 a year. About 32% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the bachelor’s level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $15,000. Schoolwide, about 29% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 58% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The federal data does not report an overall admission rate for this school, so ask the admissions office how applicants are evaluated. Expect the nursing program to have its own application, prerequisite courses, and limited seats. Our guide to getting into nursing school explains what programs typically look for. Licensure runs through the state board of nursing in Nebraska, and graduates sit for the NCLEX. Confirm that the specific program holds ACEN or CCNE accreditation and is approved by the state before you enroll. Compare other schools on our nursing schools in Nebraska page.
