Your nursing career starts here—at the University of Arizona College of Nursing, a close-knit learning community where each year more than 450 students gain essential knowledge and experience for satisfying professional practice or advanced education.
 The Traditional Pathway
The BSN Traditional Pathway iis designed for students in the process of completing their first baccalaureate who wish to pursue a career in nursing. The four semester upper-division entry level professional nursing Traditional Pathway leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and eligibility to take the national licensure examination required for practice as a nurse.
The Accelerated Pathway
The Accelerated BSN Partnership Program for College Graduates recognizes a unique collaboration between the College of Nursing and area healthcare agencies. This Accelerated Pathway is designed for students with an earned non-nursing baccalaureate who wish to pursue a career in nursing. The 14-month entry level professional nursing Accelerated Pathway leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and eligibility to take the national licensure examination required for practice as a nurse.
Presently, the Accelerated Pathway is sponsored by Tucson healthcare agency partners who pay a predetermined amount to cover all costs associated with the program. This tuition free program is made possible through a College of Nursing partnership with Tucson healthcare agencies: Tucson Medical Center, Northwest Medical Center and University Medical Center. All sponsored students enter into an employment commitment with their sponsor agreeing to work as an RN for three years following graduation. If the student fails to meet the work commitment, the student will reimburse his/her sponsor in accordance with terms established in an Agreement between the student and the healthcare sponsor.
In 2010, the Accelerated Pathway expands student access by offering a self-pay option for participating students. In addition, a unique sponsored opportunity for students committed to attend classes and work in the Yuma, Arizona region is available.
