January entry for accelerated programs

[422jdb]

Does anyone know where I can find a list of colleges that have a January-entry option for their accelerated BSN programs? Thanks!

I can't answer your question but I do know that Creighton University has a January entry program. You may end up having to sift through lists of accelerated programs to check.

Thanks for the info on Creighton!

Samuel Merritt College in Oakland also has a January start (although I think it is their Sacramento campus location that starts in January).

And I'm pretty sure that Georgetown has a winter start in January or February.

NYU also has a January start option.

Anything in the center of the country? I missed the Jan app deadline for Creighton:banghead: NYU is too expensive for me and Oakland scares me LOL.

If it was me, I'd call Creighton and see if they can be flexible....for my class they were taking people right up to the start date. It can't hurt to ask.

Georgia State University and Kennesaw State University, both in the Atlanta area offer January entry. Kennesaw State also offers a summer entry as well. I know they're not in the middle of the US, but they're both moderately priced.

Oh that's great, thanks for the info. They don't have to be in the middle of the country as they do in an area where the cost of living is inexpensive. I can't imagine trying to live in parts of CA or NY and trying to do this program while attempting to minimize my debt. So that's my rationale anyways.

If you move in an area outside of downtown Atlanta, cost of living here is very inexpensive. I really like Kennesaw or Marietta, and these are right next to Kennesaw State University. This is supposed to be one of the best nursing schools in the state. But I'm partial to GSU because I go there. Good luck with your decision!!
