B.S. in Nursing - Accelerated Second-Degree Track

B.S. in Nursing – Accelerated Second-Degree Track

This degree is designed for individuals who already have a bachelor’s degree but want to change careers.

The BSN-ASD is a compressed, year-round curriculum designed to enable students to enter the workforce as professional nurses in approximately 18 months, assuming the student has met all of the prerequisites.

The Direct Entry Master of Science in Nursing is a program for students who already hold a non-nursing bachelor’s degree and may be considering a career change. Students accepted into the Direct Entry MSN program will complete their accelerated BSN first, and then be directly admitted into either MSN program: MSN Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner or MSN Leadership & Management.

The total time spent between the accelerated BSN and MSN Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner programs is 39 months. The total time spent between the accelerated BSN and MSN Leadership and Management programs is 33 months. Both completion dates pend student progression through each program.
