Nursing - Post-Baccalaureate Accelerated
Overview
The post-baccalaureate accelerated Bachelor of Science in nursing option allows students with a bachelor’s degree to attain a Bachelor of Science (BS) with a major in nursing through three semesters and one summer session. It is an intense curriculum with a combination of classroom instruction and clinical experiences for students seeking a second baccalaureate degree. Coursework and clinical experiences are of the same high quality as the traditional first-degree baccalaureate progression, but taken at an accelerated pace.
Upon successful completion of the accelerated option, students are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX-RN) to obtain their license as a registered nurse (see board pass rates). Students must be dedicated and willing to attend classes as many as five days a week and devote an appropriate amount of time to their studies in order to be successful. The full-time program begins in August (fall semester).
Accelerated Undergraduate to Graduate Nursing Options
Students in the accelerated bachelor's program may apply for accelerated graduate program options for Master of Science degrees in healthcare nursing administration or nurse educator, and the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree for the family nurse practitioner program. Learn more.
