Dividing Bar

There are several ways to complete the Bachelor of Science Degree at the College of Nursing.  The Accelerated BSN program, which accepts students in fall and spring, can be completed in 16 consecutive months of study.  The program is a rigorous full time plan of study,  designed to allow non-nurses, particularly those with other degrees, to quickly progress through our program and enter the nursing workforce.  Several of the Accelerated BSN courses are completely placed on line, while many others are web-enhanced. 

Students also have the option of applying to the Accelerated BSN/MSN option, which allows articulation from the BSN program directly to the MSN program and shortens the overall length of both programs by about a semester, depending on the desired specialty focus.  After acceptance to the program, students have the opportunity to switch between the BSN and BSN/MSN tracks. 

The RN to BSN program allows registered nurses to complete the BSN in 8 courses.  The program can be completed full time within 12 months, or part time in 2 years if desired.  The program is completely online and the clinical requirements can be accomplished in the student’s local area. 

Our undergraduate programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.  As Director of the Undergraduate Program, I am proud of the quality of our applicants and graduates.  Our faculty and I hope you will consider joining our elite student body and contribute your talents to the profession of nursing!
