The record answers one narrow question: why University of Vermont, The belongs in this baccalaureate directory. Pathway, modality, clinical design, field-experience hours, placement ownership, and candidate qualifications require current official program materials.

Confirm the current University of Vermont BSN requirements

As of the July 21, 2026 review, CCNE records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at University of Vermont, The. That is useful but limited evidence. It cannot be used to infer prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, clinical hours, placement assistance, or approval criteria.

Start with the documents controlling the student's actual term. Confirm pathway, course purpose, dates, approved geography, setting type, candidate credentials, affiliation requirements, compliance items, and submission forms. Older catalogs or another school's process are not reliable substitutes.

Separate program-coordinated and student-proposed experiences

Program coordination is generally the rule for prelicensure clinical experiences. That protects course sequencing, site contracts, supervision, and regulatory oversight. Nothing in the accreditation record shows that University of Vermont, The allows student proposals, so the student should confirm the current placement process before contacting any professional or organization.

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 Vermont, The confirms the pathway, course, student proposal process, and current approval criteria.

A field-experience proposal needs more than a willing contact. The person's expertise and the organization's work must support the approved objectives. Public health, community care, school health, occupational health, home health, hospice, nonprofit service, quality, coordination, and population health are examples subject to program review.

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 Vermont, The handbook and degree audit instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.

Read how BSN practice requirements vary, then verify the active course with University of Vermont, The. Planning should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, placement process, location, candidate role, setting, and forms.

Plan an approval-ready proposal in Vermont

Start the geographic plan with the student's authorized location, not an assumption drawn from University of Vermont, The's Burlington address. The program may apply state, site, licensure, affiliation, or delivery rules that accreditation does not show. Every proposed setting still needs program approval.

For broader setting context, review the BSN field-experience guide for Vermont. It can help identify community and systems setting categories, while the student's current program remains the authority on whether a proposal is allowed and what is eligible.

Before submission, organize the candidate's professional role, active credentials, relevant experience, site, availability, relationship to the student, and fit with each course objective. Attach current school forms rather than a generic template. The program may still need contracts, compliance materials, authorization checks, or other approvals.

Use a current-course readiness checklist

Before a candidate is contacted, verify the pathway, course, applied purpose, required hours, term dates, location authorization, eligible setting, candidate role, credentials, affiliation process, compliance checklist, forms, and school deadline. Confirm explicitly that the student may propose a person or site.
