The College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts at Boston confers a bachelor's of science in nursing degree (BSN) through many program options. For new undergraduate students, it has a traditional four-year program into which students matriculate during the fall or spring. The college's accelerated track is meant for students who already have a non-nursing bachelor's degree. These students matriculate only in the summer and receive their BSN in 15 months. It also offers a bridge program for registered nurses with associate degree, which is conducts entirely online. Depending on how many previous college-level courses a registered nurse has completed, they can complete the program within one to two years part-time.
