Nursing
In response to the growing national demand for registered nurses who are educated in a baccalaureate degree program, MCPHS School of Nursing has developed innovative programs leading to the bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree, and eligibility for RN licensure.
Developed in collaboration with key clinical partners in leading healthcare institutions and community agencies, and built on a strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences, a unique accelerated course of study provides students with the knowledge, skills, competencies, and values required to practice as a registered nurse in the 21st century.
Students learn from experienced nurse educators and clinicians in state-of-the-art on-campus classroom and clinical simulation facilities as well as local and regional contemporary clinical practice environments that offer superb learning and professional development opportunities.
One program, two tracks, three campuses:
- Full-time, accelerated 32-month program
- For incoming freshmen or transfer students who do not have a prior baccalaureate degree who wish to become registered nurses
- Full-time, accelerated 16-month program
- The program on the Manchester campus will be launched in Fall 2007
- For applicants who have met all preprofessional course requirements and who hold a previously earned bachelor’s degree and wish to become registered nurses
