Next semester: Spring 2023 How to Apply

BSN@Home

Choose a Campus

The first step to enrolling in the BSN@Home program is to choose a home campus. Your home campus will be where you register for classes and apply for financial aid, and from where you receive your degree. All course grades for your BSN@Home courses will be reflected on the transcript from your home campus.

The following sections provide a quick way to compare requirements, costs, and financial aid between the six University of Wisconsin campuses you can choose from. Scroll to the bottom of the page for contact information for each campus. Visit the Meet our Campus page to read more about us. If you have questions, feel free to contact one of the campuses.
