Undergraduate
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
BSN Accelerated Track
The accelerated track facilitates men and women holding a minimum of a baccalaureate degree in an area other than nursing who now wish to earn a bachelor of science in nursing degree. The accelerated track allows those with a bachelor’s degree to apply general-education course work toward the completion of the BSN degree if prior general-education course work meets the general-education requirements for this degree. This track is currently offered on the IUPUI campus.
The accelerated track requires a commitment to a full-time study plan that will be completed in an 18‑month time frame. In order to graduate in the 18‑month time frame, one must be dedicated to a full-time study plan for those 18 months. This particular track meets the entire calendar year including summer. An understanding of this time commitment is important, as there is very little ability to adjust for absences or lateness in this track. At the completion of the program, graduates will receive an Indiana University B.S.N. degree and will be eligible to sit for the Registered Nurse Licensure Examination.
