Accelerated B.S.N.

The Accelerated BSN is a full-time, 12-month, 64-credit program for individuals who hold a bachelor's degree in any field and have completed the prerequisite courses. The program is very competitive, accepting roughly 70-80 students per year. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and will be eligible to sit for the Registered Nurse Licensing exam (NCLEX-RN).

The Nursing Department is pleased to announce the re-opening of the RN-BSN Program in an online, asynchronous format beginning Fall 2025! The RN-BSN Program offers a personalized education and exceptional value with our transfer student scholarships. NJCU also has many articulation agreements with Community Colleges (Brookdale, Essex, Hudson, Mercer, Middlesex, Ocean, and Passaic) applying all associate degree credits to the BSN in addition to credits for your Nursing Licensure. 

Please contact Dr. Joyce Wright (jwright@njcu.edu) to learn how you can earn your BSN (33 credits) in as little as 3-4 semesters!
