Accelerated Nursing Application Process
You can obtain your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree by completing courses over a 4-semester period. The accelerated option is designed for students who have previously earned a bachelor’s degree and desire to pursue a career in the nursing field.
