Description & Objectives
The UB School of Nursing has developed an accelerated second-degree option for a Bachelor of Science in nursing that delivers the undergraduate nursing curriculum in an intensive, full-time, 12-month program designed for the mature, highly motivated, career-minded student who has already completed an undergraduate and/or graduate degree in a field outside of nursing.
Second-degree students will complete all required nursing courses in an accelerated sequence and upon completion, are prepared to take the NCLEX-RN licensure exam to become a registered nurse. During their study, accelerated students will also be given the opportunity to accrue up to 12 graduate credit hours, which may later be applied to a master's degree program in a nursing specialty area of interest, providing students with a head start toward a graduate degree.
