2024-2025 Academic Catalog

Roadmap: B.S. in Nursing, AS-BSN


The AS-BSN option is designed for the student with a bachelor’s degree in a discipline other than nursing who has completed all prerequisites; the accelerated option requires students to attend full-time for 15 months versus the traditional pre-licensure track which requires 3 years of full-time study.

This Roadmap is a recommended advising map to complete the degree program in four years. Please consult your academic advisor as you develop your academic plan.
