I really appreciate all the information given on this forum. I have one more question though. I ran into a friend yesterday and she told me that UCA in Conway has the best BSN program in Arkansas. I had been pretty much just looking at UAMS since I know I want a BSN. I was looking on the web site and couldn't find much info but I did see that UCA is a three year nursing program while UAMS is 2 year (I already have a degree and will have all my pre-reqs). What is the difference? Does three years mean you cover more material, or go slower or what? I would really appreciate some input.
Thanks again.

UCA is 3yrs because of the time they start Example UCA is a 4yr BSN program but the last 3yrs is all nursing. It really depends on the sequence. Most people who go to UAMS transfer from other schools two complete their final 2yrs at UAMs nursing. Hope this helps

I am a Conway native and have heard the same thing about UCA for as long as I can remember. I'd be interested in getting a BSN through UCA but not if it takes 3 yrs. after your prerequisites are done. Far too many shorter routes.
