On-Campus or Online ABSN Program Coursework
Students learn differently. That’s why we make our Accelerated BSN courses available in two formats: online and on-campus. Both program options set the foundation for your accelerated nursing education and cover the same comprehensive curriculum and professional preparation on an abbreviated timeline; the only difference is course delivery.
Students should assess their preferred learning styles before enrollment to ensure they end up in the program best suited to their needs. Regardless of your choice, our on-campus and online ABSN program will help you become a confident and capable nurse.
Online ABSN Courses
Our Hybrid Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN program students complete nursing theory coursework online via our learning management system. While this option affords some flexibility over when and where you study course material and submit coursework, you still must turn in assignments on the schedule set by your instructors.
This option also enables access to materials as often as needed. This means you have unlimited opportunities to review concepts learned in the interactive exercises.
While our Hybrid online ABSN program does allow for autonomy in how and when you study, you’ll still have multiple ways to connect with nursing instructors. Our nursing faculty are available to help you navigate nursing topics via online chat through our learning platform, email, phone, or in-person meetings.
You will also have plenty of face-to-face interactions with instructors through the other components of the Notre Dame ABSN. While you’ll submit nursing coursework online, you’ll sit for proctored exams and attend simulation labs at our ABSN program site. You’ll also work alongside experienced clinical instructors during clinical rotations at top health care facilities across Baltimore.
On-Campus ABSN Courses
If you prefer face-to-face learning with instructors in real-time, you must enroll in our on-campus Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN program. This learning option offers small class sizes, faculty mentoring, and hands-on experiences in an environment dedicated to individualized learning.
Through our campus-based ABSN program, you’ll attend classes for your nursing theory courses and participate in nursing skills and simulation labs at our state-of-the-art Center for Caring with Technology, the centerpiece of a 36,500-square-foot building housing the School of Nursing that opened on our main campus in Baltimore in August 2013.
