The Harper-NIU Nursing Partnership

Registered Nurses can earn a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing at Harper College

The RN-to-BS completion program allows you to earn an associate of applied science (AAS) degree in nursing at Harper, and then cap it off with a bachelor’s degree from NIU – and stay at Harper the whole time.
