Description & Objectives

Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing

Bachelor’s Reach for Accelerated Nursing Degree (BRAND) Program:
An accelerated B.S.N. program for students with a previous non-nursing baccalaureate degree who desire to become a registered nurse.  This program works to capitalize on students’ previous studies and education while providing an opportunity to obtain a second bachelor’s degree through its intensive curriculum focused on didactic and clinical nursing education. Significant use of innovative technology for didactic courses and regional Wyoming clinical sites allows the student to remain in their Wyoming home without relocating and with minimal travel required during the winter months.  Upon completion of the program, students are eligible to sit for the NCLEX and to receive licensure as a registered nurse.

Duration: 
15 months
Admission Requirements: 

Completed baccalaureate degree; Successful completion of pre-requisite coursework with a minimum overall 2.75 GPA; Completed application with two one-page essays and three letters of recom-mendation; Personal interview; CAN certification or L.P.N. licensure.

Tuition Requirements: 

$ 23,490 for program
