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 May.
How do I start my accelerated nursing school application?
Start your accelerated nursing application by speaking with an admissions counselor. He or she will review your previous undergraduate transcripts as well as discuss your next steps for success in the application process.
What are the ABSN admissions requirements and what prerequisites do I need to complete to be eligible?
To become eligible to enroll in the Notre Dame ABSN, you must have a non-nursing bachelor’s degree, with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher (on a 4-point scale). Additionally, if you haven’t taken all ABSN prerequisite courses (22 credit hours), you will also need to pass them within the minimum grade requirements to become eligible to apply.
Prior to enrolling in the Accelerated BSN program you must complete six prerequisite courses, which you can learn more about on our eligibility page. An admissions counselor can help you determine which courses you may still need to complete to become eligible to apply.
