Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Accelerated Second Degree Track

The Accelerated Second Degree Track in Nursing at Shenandoah University prepares the student with necessary skills and knowledge for entry-level nursing positions in a variety of diverse settings. This track is an innovative approach, 15 months in length and designed for the student who already holds a baccalaureate degree. Because of the intensity of the program it is strongly recommended that students not be employed while enrolled in this accelerated program of study.

This track is held at Shenandoah University's Northern Virginia Campus, which is located at 44160 Scholar Plaza Suite 100, Leesburg, Va., 20176.
