Bachelor of Science in Nursing

No waitlist. Small classes. Direct admission.

At Concordia University Wisconsin, the path is clear. Concordia's 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 2025. That means you could begin your nursing courses this Sepember!

Unsure of what direct admission means?

At some universities, the application process doesn't stop at just applying to the university itself. 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.
