Cleveland State University vs Ursuline College Accelerated BSN

Published

I was accepted into both Cleveland State and Ursuline College. I already committed to Ursuline because I was accepted to that program much earlier and just found out about Cleveland State. I will be moving from out of state, but CSU tuition is $15k less than Ursuline. Ursuline has a much smaller program with more individualized attention. I don't need to pay money to commit to CSU, and I haven't toured it yet. I was thinking of committing to CSU then touring it, because it is due by Jul 19 and I was on vacation when the letter came in and just got it Friday, the 14th. I don't know what to do. I know that NCLEX pass rates are 90% for CSU and 100% for Ursuline. I toured Ursuline and loved it, but $15k is a huge difference, because I'm paying for this program with loans. I don't know very much about CSU. Can anyone help?

Hey where did you end up going? And your experience? I'm currently stuck between Kent and Ursuline. Got accepted into both and not sure who to go with. Not from the area so just been doing research.

CSU tuition is the normal undergrad tuition cost for in-state or out-of-state. They don't have a special rate for the ABSN program. ?

I went to CSU, I committed to Ursuline first then switched to CSU. It was cheaper and that was my main reason for switching. I ended up learning that Ursuline was HIGHLY disorganized with their ABSN program. One of the DNPs I worked with once told me "you're getting the same degree, why pay thousands of dollars more?" -- in reference to Ursuline vs CSU. That stuck in my mind so I went with CSU

Good luck!
