Program Requirements
Students entering the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program must have a bachelor’s degree in any field from an accredited institution of higher learning. Depending on the courses completed during their bachelor’s degree, students may qualify to begin the nursing program immediately. Others may need to complete pre-requisite courses before starting the nursing coursework. Pre-requisites include courses in fields such as biology, anatomy, psychology and chemistry.
