Program Introduction
The Accelerated Nursing, BS program at Rutgers University is a 14-month intensive nursing education pathway designed for individuals who already hold a non-nursing bachelor’s degree. The program enables students to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in a short period of time and prepares them to obtain licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN). This accelerated program builds on students’ prior undergraduate coursework in general education and basic sciences, offering four semesters of concentrated study in core nursing theory and clinical practice. It is ideal for those seeking a fast-track entry into the professional nursing field.
