The accelerated and traditional BSN programs are designed for students who have completed 58 semester hours of required general education courses from any accredited college or university and who wish to pursue their education to become licensed registered nurses (RN). The traditional BSN program is housed on the main UAMS campus in Little Rock, while the Accelerated program is housed on the Northwest UAMS campus in Fayetteville.
