ABSN Prerequisites Online

Accelerated BSN programs take students who already hold a degree or substantial credit to a BSN in as little as 12 to 16 months — once the science prerequisites are complete. Self-paced, regionally accredited, built for career changers who need to move fast.

Will this count for nursing school? This course is offered through Upper Iowa University (HLC regionally accredited). Most nursing programs accept regionally accredited online coursework with a virtual lab, while a minority still require an in-person wet lab. National/ACE providers like StraighterLine and Sophia are accepted less consistently than regionally accredited credit. Always verify with your specific target programs before enrolling.

Core ABSN Prerequisites

ABSN programs are intensive and leave no room for general education during the program — so your science prerequisites must be complete before you start.

Career changer? You are the ideal ABSN candidate. If you invested years in a non-nursing career before deciding to become a nurse, completing prerequisites online lets you refamiliarize yourself with college coursework while keeping your current job — and positions you to enter a cohort as soon as a seat opens.
