BA Liberal Arts: Nursing (combined degree) (intended)

This program is for students who want a liberal arts education and a bachelor of science in nursing degree.  Students in this program will earn, in five years, a bachelor’s degree from Drew, and a B.S.N. from Drexel University’s College of Nursing and Health Professions.  Students attend Drew for four years, and then earn their B.S.N. at Drexel through the Accelerated Career Entry (ACE) program in nursing.

Drexel’s 11-month Accelerated Career Entry (ACE) is an intensive nursing program for students who already have completed a bachelor’s degree.  The ACE program is geared toward students who will benefit from intense education in using science rather than the traditional program, which takes three or four years.  ACE provides intensive immersion in nursing science, as well as facilitated entrance into nursing practice.  Graduates from the ACE program are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN° to become registered nurses (RN).  The nurse with a baccalaureate degree is prepared to practice in all health care settings–critical care, outpatient, public health, and mental health.
