Accelerated BSN
Nurses are needed everywhere. Pursue the profession that can make a difference.
Fast track your way to a career in the health professions by earning an accelerated bachelor of science in nursing (B.S.N.) degree. Our cohort-based program attracts students who come from all walks of life with a variety of prior experiences. Because it's a degree-completion program, each student must hold 60 college credits or a bachelor’s degree in a non-nursing field, making for an exciting melting pot of ideas, personalities and world views. Veterans of the armed forces can receive academic credit for service to help ease the transition back to school.
Located at our Virginia Science and Technology Campus in Ashburn, Virginia, this in-person program is a degree-completion option and only takes four consecutive semesters to complete.
