Description & Objectives
Accelerated Second Degree Bachelor’s Program:
The Second Degree sequence allows students who have already received a bachelor’s degree in another field to receive a bachelor’s of science degree with a major in nursing. This full-time sequence offers courses at the Tampa campus and is typically completed in four consecutive semesters (after pre-requisites). Unique to the University of South Florida is the use of a regional Clinical Collaborative Model in which the University of South Florida College of Nursing and 9 local and regional hospitals partner to offer USF students clinical at a particular agency for the majority if not all of the clinical experiences. Students “match” to an agency based on preference and availability. This unique model offers students a one-of-a-kind experience. The Clinical Collaborative model has been in existence for over 10 years and meets bimonthly to discuss, plan, and evaluate student learning and partnership objectives.
