 Carlow Offers Many Options for Professional Nurses
Nurses who want to enhance professional expertise and theoretical background in nursing find that Carlow University offers a variety of options. Many registered nurses looking at changes in health care realize that to add stability in current positions or to compete for new or more advanced positions they need a B.S.N. or even an M.S.N. And registered nurses who already have an M.S.N.s may want to think about becoming nurse practitioners. |
| At Carlow, students can complete these degrees in accelerated programs while continuing to work. |

Flexible Program for R.N.s
Carlow offers undergraduate programs for R.N.'s in the flexible and accelerated Weekend College and CAP formats. In Weekend College, classes meet every other weekend, with eight class meetings in a semester and three semesters each year, starting in August, January, and May.
In the CAP (Carlow Accelerated Program) format, students will attend a class one weekday evening each week for eight consecutive weeks. The five CAP sessions each year start in August, October, January, March, and May. Studentscan combine evening and weekend classes if they find this convenient, and they can start in any term during the year.
Graduate nursing classes meet in a late afternoon or evening time frame, in a 15-week semester. The three semesters each year start in August, January, and May.
Choice of Locations
Carlow offers classes in a number of locations, so that students can attend class close to where they live or work. Undergraduate classes are held on the main campus in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, and also in Beaver, Cranberry, and Greensburg. Students can complete their B.S.N. in one of these locations, or can combine locations for convenience.
Graduate nursing courses are held in Oakland and Greensburg. Students can take courses at more than one location.
How Long Will It Take?
In most cases, nurses find it possible to complete a degree, undergraduate, or graduate in two to three years while continuing to work. The certificate programs take a shorter period of time.
