Southeastern has an accelerated option leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree.
Students completing the program are eligible to take the National Council of State Board
Licensing Examination to become a Registered Nurse. Our program is fully approved by
the Louisiana State Board of Nursing and is fully accredited by the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington
D.C. 20036-1120, at 202-887-6791 x 253. Graduates of this program are employed in a
variety of healthcare settings. This option allows you to complete nursing courses in
approximately 18 months.
Students must complete all required non-nursing prerequisite courses listed in the
curriculum sheet prior to entering nursing courses. Students must apply and be approved
to enter the clinical component of the program. Applications are generally submitted in
the semester in which a student is completing the required non-nursing courses. We
accept two cohorts a year – spring and summer (classes start in May). An application for
progression may be obtained from the School of Nursing and deadlines for submission
are September 15th for spring admission and February 1st for May admission. A grade of
“C” or better in each course is required as well as a cumulative grade point average of
3.0. ALL required pre-requisite courses must be posted on your transcript prior to the
application deadline for consideration, or you must be enrolled at Southeastern in any
remaining prerequisites at the time of application. ALL requests for substitutions must be
made, approved, and posted to your transcript prior to the application deadline.
Please consult the curriculum of the Accelerated Option for Students. To request
advising, please apply to Southeastern have all transcripts mailed to Office of Admissions
for evaluation. Once your transcripts are evaluated, call the School of Nursing office at
985.549.2156 or email nursing@selu.edu for an advising appointment. Approximately
half of the course work will take place on the Hammond campus and the other half will
be completed at the Baton Rouge Center which is located at 4849 Essen Lane in Baton
Rouge. Clinical opportunities may be available on the Northshore and in the Baton Rouge
area.

Accelerated Option Nursing Program
The required prerequisite (general education) courses must be completed prior to entry into the nursing courses. Since you
have a prior degree, we may be able to make some substitutions of required courses (i.e. Sociology, LS, etc.) based on course
work you have completed. ALL substitutions requested must be completed and posted to your transcript prior to application.
You must be enrolled at Southeastern in any remaining required prerequisite courses.
Application deadlines for the School of Nursing are February 1st for the May admission and September 15th for the January
(spring) admission. The accelerated option allows you to complete the nursing courses in approximately 18 months to receive
a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing.
