Bachelor of Science in Nursing
No waitlist. Small classes. Direct admission.
At Concordia University Ann Arbor, the path is clear. The Ronald and Marvel Jones School of Nursing is committed to developing our students in mind, body, and spirit. We are currently accepting applications for direct admissions to our Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program for Fall 2024. That means you could begin your nursing courses this September!
Unsure of what direct admission means?
At some universities, the application process doesn't stop at just applying to the university itself. In fact, once you receive acceptance, you may need to submit an additional application specifically for the nursing program you're interested in. However, at Concordia, we make it easy for you. Upon acceptance to the university, you will be automatically accepted into the nursing programs. There is no doubling up on applications or additional work to start your nursing journey.

I love the mission and I love the small class sizes. However, I especially love the diverse and unique students we serve. We are blessed to serve many nontraditional undergraduate students and a large percentage of first-generation college students. The opportunity to partner with these students is incredible. I love partnering with them to achieve their goals. Seeing their proud and invested families is especially exciting and gratifying, too.
