BPH/ABSN Public Health Nursing Scholars Academics & Curriculum

Apply Bachelor of Public Health

The Public Health Nursing Scholars program will follow a specific class course schedule that allows students to complete the Bachelor of Public Health (BPH) and Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) in 4.5 years.

Students admitted to the Public Health Nursing Scholars program will focus on their public health course work for the first six semester in the program, and on the ABSN program their final three semesters – this includes 12 credits hours over the summer between year 4 and 5. Students will pay undergraduate tuition throughout their time in both programs.
