Central to Patient Care.
Central’s Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) is a 15-month, second-degree program designed for those who hold a bachelor's degree (BA or BS) from a regionally accredited academic institution in another discipline. Because this program consists entirely of nursing coursework and clinical practice, all prerequisites must be completed before entering this program. Our ABSN blends classroom, hybrid and online learning, and clinical experiences in a variety of settings. Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
