Herzing University, an accredited, private nonprofit institution, announced it is now offering its online Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program in Texas, with Fall 2025 enrollment open for students in the Dallas and Houston areas. Already available in 19 other states, the program combines flexible online coursework with hands-on clinical experience and intensives, creating new capacity for aspiring nurses while addressing the growing demand for healthcare professionals in Texas.
This new program arrives at a critical moment for Texas’ healthcare workforce development. Texas Health and Human Services projects that nursing demand will outpace supply by 57,000 registered nurses by 20321, while the Texas Hospital Association reports that state nursing schools turned away 13,705 qualified applicants in 20232 because of limited faculty and clinical placements. Herzing University’s expansion adds much-needed capacity for nursing students while providing a sustainable solution for Texas’ nursing shortage. The online BSN program serves qualified students but is especially beneficial for those who are balancing full-time work, family responsibilities, or live in rural areas.
“Herzing’s online BSN program can help provide quick and necessary relief to the Texas nursing shortage,” said Renée Herzing, President of Herzing University. “For 60 years, Herzing has provided pathways to new career opportunities for hard-working, dedicated students who are determined to improve life for their families and communities. Our proven hybrid model blends flexible online coursework with in-person intensives and clinicals to provide a well-rounded education, no matter where a student lives. We’re excited to do our part to help expand access to quality healthcare across Texas.”…
