Nursing Admissions

As the demand for healthcare continues to increase, hospitals and other healthcare facilities are looking for highly qualified nurses who can meet the needs of this continually evolving profession. Without a doubt, the U.S. healthcare system is becoming increasingly more complex, and nursing specialty organizations, states such as New York, and government agencies are calling for registered nurses to have at least a baccalaureate degree in order to keep their RN license.¹

Admission into Colorado Technical University’s nursing degree programs could help you develop the skills and knowledge needed to provide the best possible care for your patients. Plus, our RN-to-BSN and MSN programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), an independent agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for the accreditation of baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs.

Our nursing programs offer the flexibility to earn your degree on your schedule in a compelling, online learning environment. In addition to offering eight convenient start dates throughout the year, our accelerated degree programs may help you to earn an RN-to-BSN degree in as few as nine months, while a MSN may be completed in as few as 18 to 20 months. Here are a few other ways that CTU can help you streamline your nursing education and put you on a path to graduation.

• RN-to-BSN students can transfer up to 75% of their degree credits with relevant education, licensure, certification, and experience.
• With intellipath^™, our award-winning, adaptive learning platform, you can more easily skip course materials that you already know while identifying areas where you may need additional help.
• CTU Mobile, a cutting-edge mobile platform for your iOS or Android-enabled device, lets you participate in class discussions and view upcoming assignments from anywhere at any time.
• Ready to get started? CTU offers a 48-hour decision window after submitting application.

To be considered for admission to the program, applicants must:

1. Complete a scheduled interview with an admissions advisor. This helps us identify the right program and concentration of courses to help you reach your goal. Our admissions, financial aid, and prior learning assessment teams will also review your previous experience to see how it might apply as degree credit, and can help you explore financial aid and assessment options, which may help you pay for your education. Call 1-855-230-0555 to schedule an admissions interview today.
