 Villanova University's BSNExpress Program is a 14-month program that
incorporates all the standard components of the nursing program in a
concentrated timeframe. This program usually begins on the third Monday in May of each year and ends in
August of the following year. The first class entered nursing coursework in May
2003. While the program is intense, students are able to take advantage of some
of the same opportunities that are available to other BSN students.
The BSNExpress Program offers:
- class cohesiveness, which fosters a
unique support system and learning community for the students
- international and multicultural study — a
valuable enhancement to the curriculum
- opportunities for professional membership and involvement
- faculty who are experts
- mentors available to the students as they pursue
this second degree
A student in this program must be able to devote considerable time to studies
due to the intense, concentrated nature of the program. The number of clinical hours and courses are the same as
the traditional program. Students are encouraged to submit copies of
their college transcripts well in advance of their planned entrance into
the program in order to allow for complete evaluation, transfer of
credits and appropriate advisement.
This program is approved by
the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing and fully
accredited by the National
League for Nursing Accreditation Commission and the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education.
"The students, faculty, and Villanova family
in general have inspired me in preparing for my career. I would like to
inform students interested in the BSNExpress Program at Villanova, that
you've made the best decision of your life. Villanova has the best
resources that you need in order to succeed in your career."
