Monmouth + OSF Healthcare = Your future

Monmouth and OSF HealthCare provide you the future in nursing you’ve always wanted. Our innovative 3+1 program, beginning in fall 2025, gives you the residential college experience Monmouth does best and combines it with Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing’s excellent nursing curriculum and regional healthcare facilities. It’s the best of both worlds.

So what does 3+1 mean?

It’s pretty simple math: 3 years for a Monmouth College bachelor of arts or science degree and 1 more year for a bachelor of science in nursing degree from OSF.

You will spend all four years right here on the beautiful campus we call home. In the first three years, you will earn a degree from Monmouth in either biology, biopsychology, or health science and human movement. In the fourth year, you will earn an accelerated bachelor of science in nursing degree from the Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing with some local travel to their hospitals. It adds up to two degrees from two great colleges in four years – all on the Monmouth College campus.

Not just nurses – nursing leaders

The Monmouth-OSF 3+1 Nursing Program helps you become the best nurse you can be. By combining the critical thinking, speaking and writing skills of a Monmouth bachelor’s degree with the medical training of the OSF curriculum, you’ll be great nursing leader, too. You’ll be ready to take the next career step – from practitioner to mentor. And with the guarantee of a job in OSF Healthcare to graduates of the BSN program who pass the National Council Licensure Examination, you’ll be ready to start your career right after graduation.
