Nursing Special Program Requirements
All Majors
The College of Nursing offers a Bachelor's degree and a 15-Month Accelerated Bachelor's degree for applicants with a non-nursing bachelor's and/or masterŐs degree. Applications to the 15-Month Accelerated Program are accepted for both fall (September) and spring (January) admission. Prior to the starting the program, applicants must have completed or be in the process of completing the following prerequisite courses: General Chemistry, Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology I and II, Nutrition, Developmental Psychology, and Statistics. Applicants are encouraged to indicate completed prerequisites and perquisites that are in progress in the additional information section of the application.
Applicants who have not completed the prerequisite courses are also accepted for both fall and spring admission. This traditional track is typically two and a half years of full-time study in length.
Applicants to either program are required to submit all college transcripts, one letter of recommendation, and the Undergraduate Admissions application itself. Applicants should indicate that they are applying for transfer admission. Furthermore, when responding to the essay prompt, applicants should respond why they wish to obtain a second bachelor's degree in nursing. Applicants with a bachelor's degree are not required to submit their high school transcript or SAT or ACT scores. Please note that the application deadline for September entry for the 15-Month program is March 1st.
