From helping bring new babies into the world to reviving patients in the ER, nurses work in every corner of the healthcare profession, caring for people across their lifespan. The Quinnipiac School of Nursing offers both a January and an August start date that will set you up for success in the nursing field.

Our Accelerated BS in Nursing enables students with a bachelor’s degree in another discipline to transition toward a fulfilling career in nursing. Students can choose to start the program in either January or August and will earn their degree in just twelve months.
