What is the difference between Linfield’s accelerated RN to BSN cohort that begins in the Spring semester and Linfield’s other RN to BSN cohort that begins in the Fall semester?
The accelerated BSN program follows a plan that includes summer term, with winter term available for other graduation requirements. The RN to BSN Fall cohort follows a fall/spring, fall/spring pattern, with winter and summer terms available for other graduation requirements.
Each cohort completes the same amount of coursework. Which program is right for you will depend on your availability during the summer term, your previous college coursework, and your desired pace of completion.
