This accelerated program offers you the opportunity to become a nurse in 14 months. The course of study requires 63 credit hours of nursing course work and leads to a BS degree in nursing. The classes are designed to provide a sound foundation in nursing skills and dispositions, and include leadership and nursing research in the clinical setting. This program also provides the foundation for the pursuit of graduate education.
