The application deadline for Â鶹¹û¶³’s new accelerated second degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is March 1.  The program offered by Â鶹¹û¶³’s Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing enables those who already hold a bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing to earn a nursing degree in 15 months.

            Students complete the nursing degree in four semesters including a full summer term, going into nursing clinical courses the first semester.  Students applying now would begin classes in the fall.

            Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree in another field with a minimum grade point average of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale, and meet certain requirements in several science courses.

            Applications are available online or by contacting Jan Paine at 205 726-2746.  For information, go to the nursing school website at nursing.samford.edu.
