The Accelerated Bachelor's Degree in Nursing Program (BSN) is a 15-month option for students who hold bachelor’s or master’s degrees in fields other than nursing. Through integration of professional, theoretical and liberal-arts knowledge, the program prepares graduate nurses to provide direct and indirect care to individuals, families, groups, communities and populations. Graduates receive a B.S.N. degree and are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN examination for licensure as a registered nurse.
