WCU-Miami offers three pace options for the BSN program, so you can choose the
schedule that fits your life.

Career changers with a bachelor鈥檚 have two paths to consider: the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or the Direct-Entry Master of Science in Nursing (DEMSN).

• The BSN is designed for students who are new to nursing and who want to
  build a strong clinical foundation.
• The DEMSN is specifically for career changers who hold a bachelor’s degree in a non-nursing field. It moves you through foundational nursing coursework and into graduate-level study.

The DEMSN pathway may be a good fit if you’re looking to reach an advanced practice role sooner, since you can move on to a graduate certificate program after earning your MSN. Both options help you develop hands-on skills through simulation labs and clinical rotations, and prepare you to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam.
