BSN

Bachelor of Science in Nursing Overview

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to make a living while helping others, and you like an active job where you meet all sorts of people, nursing can be a rewarding career. With a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN), you’ll learn modern nursing skills and get training in techniques that can help you succeed in this vital field.

The BSN program at the School of Nursing and Health Sciences (SNHS) at Alliant International University offers two of the fastest paths in the state of Arizona to earning your BSN degree; one if you have no college credits and another if you have completed your general education requirements:

• If you have no previous college credits, your nursing degree will take eight trimesters over two years and nine months. 
• If you’ve fulfilled your general education requirements, your nursing program will be taught over six trimesters and will take two years to complete. 

Both programs are taught on campus in Arizona and offer general education and non-clinical course online. The BSN  in Phoenix will provide you with the education and experience needed to prepare you to sit for the NCLEX exam to earn a license as a registered nurse (RN).
