DePaul University

DePaul offers a 5 year BS as well as MSN program along with conventional BSN and RN programs. Existing RNs also have the choice to entirely bypass their BSN and register for the program RN to MSN. This is something that the majority of the schools do not offer.

Saint Xavier University

Students at this University have a wide choice including online RN to BSN, conventional BSN or a 2nd degree BSN. SXU also offers MSN both as graduate certificates and as an entire program. Also, it offers Nursing Scholarships to help in covering the tuition, as quoted by the Nurse Org. 

The University of Illinois at Chicago

Offering in-state tuition to residents of Illinois, the University of Illinois at Chicago has one of the top programs in Nursing in the State. Thus, earning conventional BSN here is affordable greatly in comparison with other schools.

Elmhurst College

Department of Nursing at Elmhurst College has 4 major programs: an exclusive Master’s Entry in Nursing Practice, an MSN, an RN to BSN and conventional BSN. The MENP is for students who do not have a Bachelor’s in Nursing. These would prefer to obtain a Master’s degree in place of one more Bachelor’s degree.

The University of St. Francis

The conventional BSN here has an impressive pass rate at NCLEX. This is chiefly oozing to the stress on experiential learning here. Students are connected to the field that they are in most interested. These include Mental Health or Long-term Care and are permitted to obtain clinical experience.
