Are you ready for a fulfilling career in the high-demand field of nursing? If you already have a bachelor’s degree (or will have one by May) our Accelerated BSN program can prepare you enter the field of nursing and care for your patients with confidence.
You'll receive the same exceptional and rigorous training that is the hallmark of the School of Nursing at Cedar Crest, in 15-month format that allows you to start your career as a nurse more quickly.
This is a full-time, 54-credit program delivered on our campus in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Cohorts begin the program during the College’s Summer Term, which starts in May each year. The curriculum also includes, at no additional per-credit cost, three graduate-level credits and the option to complete another six graduate credits. This can help students interested in graduate studies seamlessly transition to our Master of Science in Nursing programs, which include Nurse Educator, Nurse Administrator and Nurse Practitioner tracks. All courses are taught by Cedar Crest School of Nursing faculty.
