The new program will commence on Saturdays beginning this August, and FAU’s College of Nursing will start accepting applications on Friday, March 15. The appli-
cation period closes on Monday, July 15.
Course scheduling formats for the program will include a live class one evening a week, as well as on weekends, through online courses, and live-streaming delivery
course formats. With enrollments during six consecutive semesters, students can complete their BSN degree in two years.
Features of the program include a dedicated state-of-the-art education facility on FAU’s Davie campus, clinical experiences in Broward County, and a dedicated program
adviser who guides the students in the working professional BSN track with the same sequence of classes and educational support from admission to graduation. The VIP
concierge service is a full-service, all-inclusive BSN track specifically designed for those who have busy personal and professional commitments, as well as those who pre-
fer the convenience of a full-service, structured cohort program.
