Nursing Program Delivery Options

Three types of undergraduate curricula lead to the Bachelor of Science with a major in nursing: one for standard students, one for RNs who are academically prepared at the associate degree or diploma level and now seek a bachelor’s degree, and the accelerated option for students with non-nursing baccalaureate degrees who wish to obtain a degree in nursing.

• The Standard Option is designed to meet the educational needs of persons who are not registered nurses and can be completed in two and a half years.
• The RN Upward Mobility Option is designed as a degree completion for registered nurses who have completed a National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) accredited academic diploma or associate degree nursing program.
• The third option, the Accelerated Option, is for students who have completed a bachelor’s or a master’s degree in any field and wish to obtain a Bachelor of Science with a major in Nursing.  The Accelerated Option is an intensive course of study that is delivered in a compressed format over 12 months.
