redefining what’s possible
Northeastern’s Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program, offered at the university’s Charlotte, NC campus, is designed for those who already hold a bachelor’s degree in another field and wish to acquire a bachelor’s degree in Nursing with licensure as a Registered Nurse.
During the program students work closely with nursing faculty to master the core skills necessary to excel in the nursing profession as a registered nurse. The program also prepares students to successfully take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
Northeastern University in Charlotte is home to Northeastern’s Center for Health Sciences. As a leader in health sciences, life sciences, and healthcare innovation, and as longtime members of the Charlotte community, we leverage our connections across the region to design health sciences and healthcare degree programs relevant to Charlotte’s growing health sector.
