Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Saint Louis University’s accelerated B.S.N. option (ABSN) is an intensive three-semester, 12-month Bachelor of Science in Nursing program designed for students who already have a bachelor's degree in another area of study. However, undergraduate students who have at least 77 credits may be eligible to apply for the junior-entry accelerated option.Saint Louis University School of Nursing created the Accelerated BSN in 1971, which was the first and only program of its kind in the United States. The School of Nursing developed the program to specifically meet the growing demands of students who choose to pursue nursing after completing their undergraduate study. Our one-year bachelor of science in nursing program has the same outcomes as the traditional four-year option. It incorporates an integrated approach to learning, early synthesis and application of concepts and concentration on the nursing major.

Applicants must complete the online application and submit official secondary school academic records (with certified English translations if the originals are not in English). Students who have completed post-secondary coursework must also provide official transcripts from each institution attended.
