Accelerated BSN Sample Curriculum

This sample program of study outlines the typical timeframe that courses will be offered for students enrolled in the Accelerated BSN Program in Nursing. There may be slight calendar variations from year to year. Students are required to take these 17 courses to fulfill requirements for the baccalaureate degree in this program. Of these, students who have taken courses equivalent to Nursing 360 or courses that fulfill the same Learning in Common (LinC) requirement as Spanish 100 and Spanish 105 may be waived from taking these specific courses. Similarly, students who have met all LinC U and M requirements need not take that elective during this program of study. However, in these instances, students will not receive a tuition discount.
