Accelerated BSN (ABSN) Degree Program Locations

While our main campus in Phoenix is home to our traditional BSN program, we offer our accelerated BSN program at the satellite locations listed below. Eligible students must have 60 or more college credits to enroll in the program or hold an existing bachelor’s degree (requirements may vary by ABSN location).

Our full-time accelerated nursing program expands on the non-nursing college credits you’ve already earned so you can begin your nursing coursework sooner. Designed exclusively for accelerated nursing students, each facility features state-of-the-art skills labs and immersive simulation experiences, classroom space, computer labs, faculty offices and a student lounge.

As an ABSN student, you and your classmates will regularly visit your location of enrollment to complete hands-on labs and simulations under the guidance of faculty. This is also where you’ll take proctored exams.

Whether you attend our 16-month1 ABSN program in Arizona, Nevada or Utah, you’ll receive the same quality accelerated nursing education taught by our highly supportive faculty.
