Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, The; it cannot answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, whether field work applies, or who coordinates placement.

Confirm the current UNC at Charlotte BSN requirements

The directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for baccalaureate nursing education at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, The. Treat curriculum pathway, field work, hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and candidate eligibility as separate facts that require current school sources.

The student's current program materials should answer the questions the accreditation listing cannot. Gather the catalog year, course instructions, degree audit, objectives, approved locations, mentor or preceptor criteria, site forms, affiliation language, and program contact before defining a search.

Separate program-coordinated and student-proposed experiences

Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated by the nursing program. A prelicensure student should use University of North Carolina at Charlotte, The's current placement office and assigned process. Outside help is appropriate only if current written instructions explicitly permit the student to propose a site or preceptor. Accreditation does not tell us whether that exception exists.

An RN-to-BSN or other post-licensure field experience may apply baccalaureate competencies in a community, population, education, leadership, quality, or coordination setting. Use that framework only after University of North Carolina at Charlotte, The confirms the pathway, course, student proposal process, and current approval criteria.

A possible setting might be a public-health program, community clinic, school-health service, occupational-health team, home-health or hospice organization, nonprofit, care-coordination unit, quality team, or population-health service. A possible mentor might be an experienced registered nurse or another qualified professional whose role matches the course. The program decides eligibility.

Confirm BSN hours instead of assuming a total

A baccalaureate nursing degree does not carry one universal clinical or field-hour requirement. The student's pathway, course, curriculum version, state, and catalog year can affect what applies. Confirm the current University of North Carolina at Charlotte, The handbook and degree audit instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.

Use the BSN hours overview for a general framework, not for a school-specific figure. A useful brief records the confirmed requirement, its learning purpose, the acceptable setting, the supervision method, and whether the program coordinates placement or permits a proposal.

Plan an approval-ready proposal in North Carolina

Charlotte, North Carolina is the directory location for University of North Carolina at Charlotte, The; it is not a promise that a student can place there. The program must confirm permitted states and location restrictions. Geography is only one screen, alongside pathway, course objectives, setting fit, candidate credentials, site capacity, and affiliation terms.

Use the North Carolina BSN field-experience overview to think through local setting categories and geography. It does not establish authorization or approval rules for University of North Carolina at Charlotte, The; only the current program can do that.

Candidate willingness is only the beginning. An approval packet should explain the role, credentials, setting, relevant work, supervision, availability, course alignment, and paperwork status. The program can then apply its current site, affiliation, compliance, conflict, and candidate rules.

Use a current-course readiness checklist

Build the request from verified fields: current pathway, course, catalog year, applied objective, requirement, term, geography, site type, candidate role, credentials, placement ownership, affiliation requirements, compliance documents, school forms, and deadline. Do not fill gaps with another school's practice.
