Bachelor of Science in Nursing Overview

Real training. Real patients. Real career outcomes.

If you’re looking for a meaningful career helping others, nursing offers both purpose and variety. With a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), you’ll develop modern clinical nursing skills and gain the hands-on training to help you succeed in this vital field.

The CCNE-accredited BSN program at the School of Nursing and Health Sciences (SNHS) at Alliant University offers two of the fastest paths in Arizona to earning your BSN degree:

No prior college credits? Complete your BSN in eight trimesters—just two years and nine months.
General education requirements already fulfilled? Finish in six trimesters, in as little as two years.

Both programs are taught on our Phoenix campus with general education and non-clinical coursework available online. Alliant’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing in Phoenix is designed as an NCLEX prep nursing program, equipping you with the education, clinical experience, and critical thinking skills needed to pass the NCLEX exam and earn your Arizona RN licensure.
