Delhi began offering a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in January 2008, the first degree of its kind to be offered totally online in New York State. Delhi's online RN to BSN program is designed for registered nurses who wish to pursue a bachelor's degree, but who cannot attend classes because they are place-bound.
