B.S. in Nursing - Advance-2-BSN Track
(*Note: As of Summer 2023, the Advance-2-BSN program will no longer be accepting new students. Interested students should consider the Advance to Master of Science in Nursing - Clinical Nurse Leader Track.)
The Advance-2-BSN program is for the student with a previously earned baccalaureate degree who wants to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will then be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam (National Council on Licensure Examination for the RN) for licensure as a Registered Nurse. This intensive 18-month program builds upon the student's previous education. It follows the same curriculum as the traditional BSN program but at an accelerated pace.
