Accelerated Nursing Admissions Overview

Are you ready to fast-track your nursing education so you can start your new nursing career sooner? The Notre Dame of Maryland University Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program exists to help you do just that.

Before you launch your nursing education, you must first meet our accelerated BSN admissions requirements. Once those requirements are met, you can reach out to one of our admissions advisors, who will ensure your application is ready for a start date in January, May, or September.

FAQS

What are the ABSN program start dates?

Our hybrid ABSN program offers three start dates per year — in January, May, and September — making it possible to begin your nursing education sooner. Our on-campus ABSN program offers one start date per year in the Fall semester.

What are the ABSN program admissions requirements, and what prerequisites must I complete to be eligible for this program?

To become eligible to enroll in the Notre Dame ABSN, you must have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher (on a 4-point scale). Additionally, if you haven’t taken all ABSN prerequisite courses, you must pass them within the minimum grade requirements to become eligible to apply.

Before enrolling in the ABSN program, you must complete several prerequisite courses, which you can learn more about on our eligibility page. Applicants transferring credits from another college/university must complete additional NDMU General Education Course Requirements.  An admissions advisor can help you determine which courses you may still need to complete to become eligible to apply.

How do I start my accelerated nursing school application?

Start your accelerated nursing application by speaking with an admissions counselor. They will review your academic transcripts and discuss your next steps for application completion.
