Accelerated Second Degree Nursing
The Accelerated Second Degree in Nursing (ASDNU) program is for individuals who hold a bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing, are seeking to become a nurse, and need to continue their studies to earn a second bachelor’s of science in nursing. The ASDNU program is full-time, 15-month program that begins each May and runs through August of the following year. With a nursing degree from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ’s Egan School of Nursing and Health Studies, students will be empowered to become leaders in their field.
For more information, contact Carole Pomarico, adult program director, at capomarico@fairfield.edu or set up an informational appointment by calling 203-254-4000, ext. 4150.
The Egan School of Nursing and Health Studies hosts an information session for the 15-month Accelerated Second Degree program twice a year in April and September. It's a great way for prospective students to learn more about the program and to meet our nursing faculty. For details on our next upcoming ASDNU information session, click here.
Please note: This program is for students who currently hold a bachelor's degree in another field and wish to pursue a second degree in nursing (BSN).
