Accelerated MSN
The Facilitated Academic Coursework Track (FACT) is for highly talented students who already hold a bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing. FACT students earn the BSN degree in 12 consecutive months of intensive full-time study.
Curriculum
Students accepted into this program option are admitted to both the undergraduate and graduate programs. During the program’s undergraduate phase, students earn 55-credits, and an additional 9 graduate credits at JSN. Students are scheduled for theory course content two days per week; and clinical practicum experience 24 hours per week. This schedule allows time to integrate theoretical concepts and constructs into clinical practice. Clinical hours may include evenings and weekends.
At the end of the program, students take the state nursing licensing exam and if successful, select their specialty area in the MSN specialty they wish to pursue.
