Accelerated B.S.

If you already have a baccalaureate or higher degree but not in nursing, the VCU School of Nursing has two options for you.

You may apply to either the accelerated B.S. track - or the traditional B.S. track - The accelerated B.S. track is a faster-paced and rigorous.

After earning a B.S. in nursing, graduates are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination for registered nurse licensure. NCLEX pass rates are available on the Virginia Board of Nursing Website.

Review all application instructions, program overview, admission and degree requirements.  We encourage you to attend one of our information session or contact us at vcu_nurse@vcu.edu if you have questions.
