This accelerated degree completion program is offered:
On campus
At numerous locations throughout the Delaware Valley
Offered by the Division of Nursing, this degree-completion program was developed so that registered nurses can complete requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) in about two years. Typically employed full-time, students attend one night or one morning per week on a year-round basis.
The 50-credit program is relevant to the world of work and to professional and personal goals, combining upper division nursing courses with courses in the liberal arts. The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education first accredited the program in October 2004, and the program's accreditation was renewed in December 2011 for the next ten years.
Courses in this area may be completed at Immaculata University or transfered in if completed with a grade of C or better prior to matriculation.
