Fast-track into Nursing
Our 16-month Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program and our Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program in New York take the wait out of getting into a quality nursing school. We offer three starts a year, rolling admission, and convenient online access to degree requirements that need to be met before enrollment.
Utica ABSN Program and Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing Program
Accelerate your career change to nursing through Utica University’s CCNE-accredited Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program located in Syracuse and Albany, New York. If you have the passion to care for others as a registered nurse and you meet our admission requirements, the ABSN program or the Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program may be the right fit for you.
Our rigorous blended online-onsite curriculum builds on your existing non-nursing college credits, making it an ideal path for those who desire a fast track into the nursing field. It’s also an excellent option because it has:
- Three start dates a year — in January, May and August — so you can avoid a nursing school waitlist.
- Accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), so you can feel confident you’re receiving a quality degree from a trusted, non-profit institution.
A No-Waitlist Path to Nursing School
From our program site locations in Syracuse and Albany, New York, we offer an accessible route to a quality nursing education for qualified applicants. Between our three program start dates per year and rolling admission process, we eliminate the waiting period often associated with getting into nursing school.
That means, depending on your desired program site location if you have at least 65 college credits with a 2.8 cumulative GPA or a non-nursing degree, you can start either the ABSN program or Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program as soon as you’re ready.
Do you want to lock in your spot in our ABSN or Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program even earlier? If you meet the eligibility requirements and commit to meeting degree requirements, we can save you a spot in our nursing school for your desired start date.

A Quality Education from a Trusted Accelerated Nursing Program
