The accelerated one-year BSN curriculum was developed for students who have a previous Bachelors degree in a non-nursing field. The one-year, full-time, web-enhanced format (August to August) is designed to provide you with the theory and clinical knowledge necessary to practice in the ever-changing field of nursing. The program offers students over 1100 clinical hours, in a variety of sites as well as in the prestigious HCA Midwest facilities. Accelerated students also must satisfactorily complete prerequisites:  liberal arts, science and two nursing courses, and complete 15 hours of residency at Rockhurst University. Following completion of the one-year program students are eligible to sit for the RN licensure exam (NCLEX-RN).

Admission requirements are:

• Bachelor's Degree (in a field other than nursing) from an accredited college or university

• GPA 2.8 on 4.0 scale
