Explore Regis College’s two Accelerated BSN program formats.

Regis College offers two Accelerated BSN program formats designed to support different schedules and learning preferences, while leading to the same outcome: eligibility for the NCLEX-RN and preparation for professional nursing practice.

Accelerated 16-Month BS in Nursing

This full-time, immersive option is designed for students ready to move quickly through a structured, on-campus program. With a fast-paced curriculum and intensive clinical experience, this format is ideal for those looking to transition into nursing as efficiently as possible.

Accelerated 24-Month BS in Nursing

This hybrid option combines online coursework with in-person simulation labs and clinical placements. Designed with flexibility in mind, this format supports students balancing academic goals with professional or personal responsibilities.
Both Accelerated BSN programs emphasize hands-on learning, clinical readiness, and strong preparation for licensure and nursing practice.

Academic Experience

Across both Accelerated BSN options, students benefit from a rigorous, practice-focused curriculum that integrates classroom learning, simulation, and clinical immersion. Clinical experiences span acute care, community health, and specialty settings, culminating in a final-semester transition-to-practice experience that supports confidence and readiness as a new registered nurse.
