If you have a baccalaureate degree or a master's degree in another field and would like to pursue a career in nursing, the BS in Nursing for second-degree students will meet your needs.
Second-degree students may select the master's option as they pursue the baccalaureate degree and work on their baccalaureate and master's degree simultaneously. A master's degree at Rutgers College of Nursing can be completed in an additional two to three semesters if attending full time.
The accelerated 14-month Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing Program is designed for students who already possess a baccalaureate degree in another field. The program begins in May of each year and continues throughout the year with graduation at the end of the following summer. The 14-month program is fast-paced and intense. The defined curriculum is full-time and requires the student to provide complete attention to the requirements for successful completion. Committed faculty advisors are assigned to each student to facilitate successful completion.
College of Nursing professors, with a national reputation in their fields and experience with adult students, teach all nursing courses. Classes are generally small and provide ample opportunity for student-faculty interaction.
