The Froelich School of Nursing (FSoN) cultivates an intellectual community committed to preparing leaders in the delivery of safe, high-quality, and compassionate professional nursing practice. Graduates are prepared to care for, serve, and promote the health of society in accordance with fundamental principles of healthcare ethics. This contemporary nursing curriculum prepares students to become advanced leaders and providers of high-quality compassionate patient-centered care.
The Post-Bachelor’s Accelerated Nursing Track utilizes an innovative hybrid delivery model – allowing flexibility for adult learners who have already earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher education. All classes are delivered asynchronously online, while clinical learning happens face-to-face (on-campus in our cutting-edge simulation lab and through strong agency-based clinical placements). The FSoN is an ideal place to learn – offering small cohort sizes, new facilities, and competitive bundled pricing. Graduates will be prepared for a rewarding career as a registered nurse in just 16 months.
