BSN/MSN
The BSN/MSN Program is an accelerated undergraduate Nursing program (BSN) leading to the traditional Graduate Program (MSN), resulting in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Science in Nursing. All BSN/MSN applicants must indicate ONE-desired Master's specialty in the application. The GRE is required for all BSN/MSN applicants. You are encouraged to apply to the BSN/MSN Program only if you are confident in your choice of a Master's specialty; otherwise, you should apply to the BSN Second Degree Program and consider applying to a graduate program at a later time. If admitted to the BSN but not the MSN you can enroll as a BSN Second Degree student.

BSN Second Degree
The BSN Second Degree Program is an accelerated undergraduate Nursing program resulting in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The GRE is not required for these applicants; however, some form of standardized testing must be submitted to complete this application (eligible tests are: SAT, ACT, GRE). If you attend as a Second Degree student, you may choose to take advantage of the Submatriculation program, where students can apply to a graduate program while still enrolled in the BSN program. If admitted, you may begin to take a limited number of graduate courses while still an undergraduate before proceeding into your MSN program.

RN-Return
Candidates holding RN Licensure are eligible to apply to either the Accelerated BSN Program or the Accelerated BSN/MSN Program. Designated Excelsior examinations may be taken for credit toward your BSN at PENN Nursing.
