Second Degree Accelerated B.S.N.
This program is a 14-month, 62-credit cohort model for those who already hold a non-nursing bachelor’s degree. It prepares students to practice nursing in a range of settings — from ambulatory care and community-health agencies to acute and long-term care facilities. Students learn to provide evidence-based care, using critical thinking and clinical decision-making.
We offer the program at our Freehold, N.J., location (Fall start only) and on our Interprofessional Health Science Campus in Nutley, N.J. (Spring start only).
Graduates are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-R.N. licensing exam.
