Accelerated Bachelor of Science

in Nursing

"The accelerated BSN option is a 15-month option for individuals who hold non-nursing baccalaureate or higher degrees. Before admission to the program, an individual must complete prerequisite courses, have an individualized transcript review, and complete the admission process. A Bachelor of Science (BSN) degree is awarded at graduation, and the graduate is eligible to take the licensing examination to become a Registered Nurse (RN)."
