Nursing

Loyola is preparing to welcome its first class of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students in Fall 2025. Loyola University Maryland’s BSN program has been approved by the Maryland Board of Nursing and graduates of the program are eligible for Registered Nurse licensure in Maryland. Maryland is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact for RN licensure. For more information on multistate compact licensure, visit the NCSBN website on the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) and APRN Compact. Loyola University Maryland has not sought approval of its BSN program in other U.S. jurisdictions, nor has the University been denied approval by a board of nursing in any jurisdiction. 

For information about professional nursing licensure requirements (RN and APRN) in other states, please visit the National Council of State Boards of Nursing and select the relevant states/jurisdictions.
