Galen’s 3-Year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is designed for those ready to start their journey toward becoming a registered nurse (RN). Unlike traditional four-year paths, this program provides a focused, year-round curriculum that allows students to earn their BSN in just three years. With a blend of classroom instruction, simulation labs, and clinical experiences, students are equipped with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to enter the nursing profession with confidence.
Choosing a BSN program is a strategic step for anyone pursuing a long-term nursing career. Galen’s accelerated 3-year model offers a faster path to becoming an RN while providing the comprehensive education expected of a bachelor’s-level program. Earning a BSN can open doors to more advanced clinical roles, leadership opportunities, and greater earning potential.
At Galen College of Nursing, everything is built around student success. The 3-Year BSN program is delivered by experienced faculty committed to education and mentorship. With no prerequisites required to apply and dedicated support from day one, Galen removes common barriers to nursing education. Students benefit from modern simulation labs, personalized academic resources, and a curriculum designed specifically for future nurses—nothing extra, nothing overlooked.
