Bachelor of Science in Nursing

The bachelor of science in nursing is an accelerated program for second-degree or eligible students that takes only four consecutive semesters to complete. The program is offered at the Virginia Science and Technology Campus in Ashburn, Virginia. Students put theory into practice through the school’s Simulation Learning and Innovation Center and clinical placements.

Second-degree students must hold a bachelor’s degree in a non-nursing discipline from an accredited institution of higher learning and have taken all prerequisite courses to qualify for the program. All other students are required to have a minimum of 60 college-level credits  and completed all prerequisite coursework. Veterans may use their military experience to count toward the minimum of 60 college-level credits and prerequisites. All branches of the military are accepted, no prior medical experience is necessary.
