Course Information

The Accelerated Nursing program welcomes individuals who have baccalaureate degrees in fields other than nursing. The program honors their diverse education and degrees and provides the opportunity to enter the nursing profession in a concentrated timeframe. The Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program offers 2 tracks: a one year, full-time program and a two year, part-time program.

The intensive curriculum prepares the student for the NCLEX-RN, licensing examination and to become a competent professional nurse. The classes and clinical rotations offer a stimulating educational pathway for the second-degree students. Classes are small, encouraging participation and involvement.
