Intelligent.com implemented a unique methodology that ranks each institution on a scale from 0 to 100 across six categories. The scoring system compares each school to tuition costs, admission, retention and graduation rates, faculty, reputation, and the student resources provided for online students.

“The Catawba College RN-BSN program provides an affordable and flexible option for Associate Degree nurses to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing,” said Dr. Valerie Rakes, Catawba’s Nursing Department Chair. “Our students choose Catawba’s RN-BSN program because of cost, ease of completing the program, and the attention given to every student by program faculty.”
