CSP Global's Accelerated Nursing Program

The ABSN program, like nursing, isn’t for everyone, though. For the CSP Global accelerated nursing program, you must have at least 54 non-nursing college credits (including designated prerequisites and general education coursework) while meeting academic requirements. You should also be prepared for a rigorous and intensive workload as an ABSN student, which is necessary to learn the skills and practical knowledge you’ll need over such an accelerated timeframe.

The CSP Global accelerated nursing program offers:

  • An emphasis on evidence-based care that serves the needs of culturally diverse populations
  • ABSN learning sites located in both St. Paul, Minnesota, and Portland, Oregon
