Duquesne University 2nd Degree BSN (ABSN) 2025

[123tobeanurse]

Hey everyone. I just would like to start this thread as I believe no one has created one for the 2025 cycle. I very recently submitted my application for the 2nd degree BSN (ABSN), the 12-month program to be specific. Please feel free to reply or add something to the thread, perhaps other people can answer your questions if you have any. Best of luck to all of us!

Hi, I submitted on the 18th but my transcripts have not been recieved yet. Feels like it shouldve sent by now. Did you also just request transcripts through the application itself?

Hey there! I ordered my transcripts from each institutions to be electronically sent to Duquesne. I would check with the admissions team, to see whether they have received them. For me, as they were electronically sent, they were very quick to process and I received an offer within a week or so.

OMG, I think it just never sent and I was mistaken. Thank you! Just sent them through Parchment right now. Congrats on your acceptance! @123tobeanurse

Congratulations! I believe the scholarships are announced at the same time as the offer. If you received one, there should be a page after the offer page.

Congratulations!  I recently got accepted to the program as well!  Yes, that's correct the second page of the offer letter had information about the scholarships. 

Does anybody have any thoughts on the program or know anybody who's been through it recently?  It seems like it has a pretty good reputation from what I've read.

Hi! Congratulations on your acceptance! I cold messaged a few people that went to the program recently and now work in California (where I live). I got one response. Essentially, they think that there are pros and cons to the program, but by the end of the day, it was sufficient to have them be prepared for NCLEX and be a nurse.
