Accelerated Baccalaureate Nursing Program Option
The purpose of the Accelerated Baccalaureate Program is to prepare nurses at an accelerated pace for entry-level professional practice and provide a solid foundation for graduate study. The accelerated program is a continuous four (4) semester, 15-month curriculum designed for students who have a prior baccalaureate degree in another field. Students are admitted annually in the summer semester and must complete 17 hours of prerequisite coursework in math and science prior to entering the program. Students in the accelerated program integrate with students in the generic BSN program for some courses and specific learning activities. A dominant problem-based learning methodology will be used for course delivery with some components integrated within the existing generic BSN program.
Students must enroll in full time study and no part-time study option is permitted in the Accelerated BSN program option. Students are strongly encouraged NOT to work while in the program.
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 May. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance status in March.
