  • Strong academic support
  • Thorough grounding in theories of nursing practice, including ethics and leadership
  • Rigorous clinical training experience with our community healthcare partners

How the Accelerated BSN Option Works

Herzing's Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a 120-credit degree program. The exact number of classes and time it takes you to complete the Accelerated BSN Option will depend on your previous college experience.
