ABSN Program in Baltimore

In 1975, many considered Baltimore a hidden gem, earning the moniker “Charm City.” Decades later, it still lives up to its name, quietly developing a distinguished reputation for excellence in industry and medicine to boot.

Today, Baltimore is home to approximately 2.7 million people, the 20th largest metro area in the United States, and it is the key economic center in Maryland, led by tourism, high-tech and biotech industries, and — most importantly for those interested in starting a nursing career here — medicine.
