Accelerated BSN Program - Application Process

Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree

When should I apply?

Applications are accepted beginning July 1 of the year prior to the desired year of enrollment. The deadline date for applications to be complete and in the Office of Student Records and Registrar is January 15 for the class entering annually in the summer semester.  When applying, all parts to the application, including any supplemental materials, must be received by the deadline.

Applications received less than two weeks prior to the January 15 deadline cannot be assured of adequate time for notification of any missing or incomplete documents. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance status in March. Please note: If you would like to be considered for both the Accelerated BSN program, as well as the Traditional BSN program, you must submit two separate applications. However, you need only to submit one set of transcripts, test scores and application fees.
