Overview
Program Description
The severe shortage of nursing professionals in the country, state and region has encouraged many college graduates with non-nursing bachelor’s degrees to pursue a career in the field of nursing.
Individuals with a college degree have demonstrated success in higher education and are an excellent group to recruit into professional nursing.
Each student follows a program based on previous education and experience. Students take pre requisite courses through the Lower Division, and then complete the nursing courses through the Upper Division in an accelerated progression of two summers and two semesters (15 months). The entire program typically takes two years to complete.
The School of Nursing will be conducting one hour workshops for prospective accelerated students during the Fall 2009 semester. In order to schedule a meeting with an academic advisor you must first attend one of these workshops.
Workshops will take place on the Belknap Campus from 6-7pm on Thursday September 10, Thursday October 8 and Thursday November 12 in Davidson Hall room 205 . Please print a campus map [PDF] in order to assist you. Davidson Hall is building #87. Parking in any Red, Blue or Green lot is free after 5:30pm.
