About

The accelerated second degree BSN (ABSN) is designed for students who have earned a bachelor's degree or higher in another field and wish to complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. This is a full-time, 15-month option.

The ABSN program starts in mid-May and concludes the following August.  

Graduates qualify to take the NCLEX-RN, the licensure examination for eligibility to become a registered nurse. Current reports indicate that MSU BSN graduates who took the NCLEX–RN examination in 2021 had a combined first-time pass rate of 92 percent.
