About the BSN Program for
Second Degree Students
Description
Approximately 40% of our BSN class have degrees in other areas before pursuing nursing.  These students in our nursing program have moved from a variety of career areas, from investment banking to education, before discovering their interest in nursing.

Students enter the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and are required to complete 7 prerequisite courses.  These required prerequisites may have already been completed during previous undergraduate studies.  Any remaining prerequisites can be completed at any accredited community college or university.

Students may apply while the prerequisites are in progress.  All required courses must be completed before entering the BSN program in the fall semester.
