ADN-BSN Concurrent Enrollment Program

Transformative. Seamless. Innovative.

The ADN-BSN Concurrent Enrollment program lets you pursue a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) at Drexel University while concurrently pursuing an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) at your local community college. Once you complete the ADN program, your community college will award you an associate’s degree. Then, upon passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN), you can complete your remaining BSN course work at Drexel—typically within two terms.

Partnering Community Colleges

This innovative concurrent enrollment program is currently available to accepted nursing students from:

• Delaware County Community College

There has never been a better time to earn your BSN

The Institute of Medicine’s landmark survey The Future of Nursing recommends that 80% of nurses hold BSN degrees by 2020. This recommendation has created unparalleled career prospects. In fact, a national survey conducted by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) found that 59% of new BSN graduates had job offers at the time of graduation—compared to just 29% among graduates of other degree programs.
