Concordia University-Portland Accelerated BSN Program

Concordia University – Portland’s Accelerated BSN program operates as a satellite location of the university’s main campus. The nursing program’s 16-month curriculum blends spiritual principles with Lutheran values, allowing students to earn their BSN degree without an existing bachelor’s degree or healthcare experience. The ABSN program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), offering three start dates per year. Students enrolled in the online-based ABSN program complete skills and simulation labs in the ABSN Simulation Lab site, located on the third floor, followed by clinical rotations in the area’s top healthcare facilities.
