CSP Global's Accelerated Nursing Program
CSP Global’s Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program is designed for students who want to graduate and enter the nursing field on a faster timeline. Students follow an accelerated 16-month curriculum that combines online coursework with on-campus skills labs at our ABSN learning centers in St. Paul, Minnesota, or Portland, Oregon. Clinical learning experiences with clinical partners near each learning center help students gain patient care experience. Our curriculum prepares graduates to take the NCLEX-RN® and pursue a nursing license.
To be eligible for CSP Global’s ABSN program, you need at least 54 non-nursing college credits and have to meet other requirements. You should be prepared to work hard as an ABSN student to learn nursing skills over 16 months.
All of the professors who have taught core lecture classes have always been so accessible. … The lab faculty for simulation and our clinical instructors are all really just there to make sure that we're succeeding.

Online Coursework
Online classes in CSP Global’s ABSN program gives students some flexibility in where and when they complete coursework. Through an e-learning platform, students explore subjects such as nursing theory, pharmacology, and public health.
Depending on the course, students may:
- Complete and submit written assignments
- Engage with readings, videos and other media
- Interact with instructors and fellow cohort members through chats and discussion boards
- Participate in simulated case studies
- Take quizzes and self-assessments
Students can access many online learning activities at the time that works best for them, but they still need to meet course deadlines.
