Second Degree Options
Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing offers two options to students who already have a bachelor's degree in another discipline and are interested in a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree with a major in Nursing - the 13.5 month Accelerated option and the 21 month Traditional option. The main difference between the two options is the time frame it takes to complete the program. Upon successful completion, the student will receive a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing from the Johns Hopkins University and will be qualified to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to obtain licensure as a registered nurse.

Direct Entry to Combined BS to MSN Option
The Direct Entry to Combined BS to MSN Program is the perfect option for students interested in pursuing a nursing master's degree with the added benefit of obtaining a BS in Nursing. First, the applicant must decide between the Accelerated Option and Traditional option. Second, the applicant must decide which master's option they would like to pursue. A student may elect to be undecided at the time of application or change their focus once enrolled. The length of time enrolled will depend on the baccalaureate and master's options selected.
Students applying to the BS/MSN/MPH or BS/MSN/MBA must have their official GRE test scores sent to the School of Nursing before their application may be reviewed for the master's portion of the application. Our school code is 5767.
