ABSN Admission Overview
If you want to start your nursing school journey as soon as possible, our hybrid ABSN program is your fast-track path toward a rewarding new career. With three start dates per year in January, May, and August, you can start working toward earning your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) sooner than you may think.
To begin, you must first meet the Accelerated BSN admission requirements. You will need a minimum of 60 credits with a cumulative 3.0 GPA or a non-nursing bachelor’s degree with at least a cumulative 2.8 GPA to start the process. Take the time to discuss your education history and any concerns you may have with our admissions representatives so you can plan your next steps.

Process Overview
Your ABSN admission process begins with a conversation to determine if our Accelerated BSN program is the right fit for you academically and personally. The program’s accelerated pace and the time commitment it takes to complete requires significant time and energy. It is your ABSN admission representative’s job to make sure this is the best decision for you and evaluate how you can prepare to be successful.
Your next step is to acquire all application materials for your application, such as official transcripts and a letter of intent. You will then work closely with your admissions representative to create an academic plan so you can complete all required prerequisites before your target start date.
