You can obtain your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree by completing courses over a four-semester period. The accelerated option is designed for students who have previously earned a bachelor’s degree and desire to pursue a career in the nursing field.
Your application to the USF School of Nursing serves as your application for admission to the University of Sioux Falls.
Complete the Accelerated Nursing Application. Accelerated applications will be accepted beginning March 1st. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis once all application materials have been received by the School of Nursing. Applications will continue being accepted as space allows in the program.
Within the application, you will be required to supply three professional references. Each of your professional references will submit their reference form directly to USF on your behalf.
Request official transcript(s) from every college or university you have attended to be sent directly to the USF School of Nursing. Official transcript(s) must be received either by email or in a sealed envelope and contain the embossed seal of the college or university and the signature of the Registrar. Faxed copies are not considered official.
If you have been previously admitted to the University of Sioux Falls, you need only request official transcripts for transfer courses not already recorded on your USF transcript.
