The Second Degree Accelerated Program, established in January 2007, allows students who have already earned at least a bachelor’s degree in another major---to pursue a career in nursing.

The Mount Carmel College of Nursing Second Degree Accelerated Program prepares graduates to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN), administered through the Ohio Board of Nursing.
Second Degree Accelerated Program offers our traditional BSN program, but in a compressed time frame. Full-time students begin on the first Monday in January of one year and complete the Second Degree Accelerated Program by January 31st of the following year. The program is designed for those who are able to attend full-time – 40 hours per week–nursing lab and clinical may have evening or weekend scheduling. It is recommended that students do not work during this program, as the program is rigorous and time intensive.
Program tuition is approximately $27,730. Limited financial aid is available through Mount Carmel College of Nursing. For information about Admissions, call the Admissions Office at 614-234-4CON or e-mail mccnadmissions@mchs.com.
