The associate degree nurse can complete their bachelor’s degree starting in the summer and finishing their nursing courses by the next spring. Prerequisite and general education courses must be completed prior to admission to this track. Courses are delivered in a hybrid fashion allowing the student to take part of the course through the web, and part of the course through on-site instruction. Clinical components of this track allow the student to essentially complete their clinical experiences in their hometown.

The Degree-Plus Accelerated Option is for students with a previous non-nursing baccalaureate degree. The applicant must have completed the necessary prerequisites prior to starting the program. The Accelerated Option offers students an intense, challenging approach that enables students to complete the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in 14 months. Previous coursework necessary for admission to the Accelerated Option includes the natural, social, and behavioral sciences. Most students in their previous degree may have completed most of the prerequisites required. During the Accelerated year, students participate in a reality based curriculum that includes classroom, Internet, and real life clinical experiences in state-of-the-art facilities. The belief is that a student with a previous degree has moved from simple to more complex use of theories/ experiences either in their educational and/or work environments. This and use of multi-theoretical frameworks is congruent with the Nursing Department’s philosophy. The degree-plus student is expected to meet with the pre-nursing advisor for advisement and plan development. The student must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and follow all admission requirements set forth in the Basic Nursing Track. A minimum of 30 credit hours must be taken at CSU-Pueblo or more based on the 111
