There are three paths through which you can earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at Concordia:

  • Traditional four-year track in which students enter as Pre-Nursing majors and then apply for entrance to the Nursing program
  • Direct Entry track, which secures qualifying freshmen a spot in the Nursing program as long as they meet final requirements

Regardless of track, all CTX Nursing students receive an exemplary education. RNCareers.org ranks Concordia's Bachelor of Science in Nursing program as the third-best in the state of Texas and the fifth-best in the country!
