BSN Completion

Inquiring Students

Thank you for your interest in the BSN Completion program at the University of Detroit Mercy.  At this time, admission to this track is suspended while we examine all aspects of the program.  The University remains committed to providing quality education in the Mercy and Jesuit traditions.  (This only affects the RN-to-BSN Completion track, not the other BSN options).
