Northeastern’s Online Accelerated BSN Admissions

We seek applicants with the dedication and academic potential necessary to succeed in our nursing school. Whether you have a prior non-nursing bachelor’s degree or you’re a transfer student looking to complete your degree, Northeastern can help you earn a BSN in as few as 16 months.

The first step of the accelerated BSN admissions process with any of our nursing programs is to speak with someone on our admissions team.

From there, we will assign you a dedicated admissions counselor who will answer your questions and support you throughout the application and admissions processes. You won’t have to figure it out alone.
