SECOND DEGREE ACCELERATED BSN
The Second Degree Accelerated BSN ("BSNExpress") is a 14-month second degree track for college graduates with a bachelor's degree in another discipline who wish to embark on a career in Nursing.
The track incorporates all the standard components of the Bachelor of Science in nursing program in a concentrated timeframe.
The BSNExpress, which is approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing and fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, begins in May and ends in August of the following year.
