CSP Global’s ABSN Curriculum

Spanning four semesters, our accelerated, 16-month ABSN program — with sites in St. Paul, Minnesota and Portland, Oregon — follows a blended learning model made up of comprehensive online coursework, in-person labs and experience with patients in a clinical setting.

The ABSN curriculum will not only provide a strong academic foundation, but you’ll also graduate prepared with the clinical preparedness needed to take the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX-RN®) and become a practice-ready professional nurse. (Passing the NCLEX is a requirement for nursing licensure.)

The breadth and depth of our curriculum will prepare you to become a nurse leader who can perform effectively in today’s dynamic health care environment.
