Students who wish to graduate with an accelerated second degree in nursing must complete admissions requirements.
The EMU nursing department offers an accelerated second degree program. Persons with a bachelor's degree in a field other than nursing are invited to apply. This accelerated 15 month program will begin early May each year and run through August of the following year. The first and final semesters will be condensed into approximately 10-12 week semesters during the summer months.
The second and third semesters will follow a traditional fall/spring semester format. Students in this program may find it difficult to hold employment and may be expected to complete 12-hour and/or weekend clinical rotations. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis from August through January 15
