ABSN Curriculum
Our accredited ABSN curriculum uniquely blends online coursework with on-site nursing labs and in-person clinical rotations so you can earn a quality BSN in as few as 16 months*. The program consists of 123 total credit hours between the prior education requirements and the 63 credits of actual accelerated nursing coursework. This does not include any prerequisites you may have to take.
Together, these learning components provide the academic foundation and clinical preparedness required to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN®) with confidence.
