School of Nursing Programs

We have a variety of start dates throughout the year. Check out your program of interest to find out how soon you can get started.

You can also take a look at our undergraduate admissions process, contact an admissions advisor or apply today!

General requirements for our ASN, BSN, MSN, and DNP degrees vary across degree programs.

Requirements to enroll in undergraduate degree programs (ASN/ADN, BSN) include a high school diploma or equivalent and a minimum GPA requirement.

Most programs also require an interview with a Herzing admissions advisor before acceptance. Conditional admission may also be available for interested students who are waiting to take the National Council Licensing Exam (NCLEX).

For specific requirements, choose the program at the campus location that you are most interested in, or get in contact with a local admissions advisor.

We offer online associate, bachelor's, and master's degree pathways for those without nursing experience looking to become an RN. Eligibility varies by state of residence.

Herzing University is dedicated to YOU. Here at Herzing, we are career-focused, convenient and caring. Our specialized nursing programs were designed to help you achieve the career that you want in nursing at an affordable price.

Herzing offers diploma, undergraduate and graduate nursing degrees across 8 states at 11 different campuses and our online program, so you can choose the program and location.

But don’t take our word for it! Hear from current and graduated students who agree that Herzing helped them attain their educational and career goals.

None of our nursing programs may be completed entirely online.

Here’s why: real experience in the field is critical to your success as a nurse. Your clinical experience is vital to becoming qualified for the job and excel immediately in your new career.

Many classes may be completed online, such as in our online BSN program or online MSN Direct Entry program, but it is your hands-on clinicals that will provide you with the best experience to prepare you for your career in nursing. Herzing University provides you with the best of both worlds.

All nursing courses are a combination of General Education requirements, core classes, electives, and clinicals. Some core classes have prerequisites which need to be fulfilled before the course is completed. The exact curriculum and requirements vary by program.

Due to several potential factors, including high demand or a shortage of nursing faculty, some schools implement a waitlist to limit enrollment into their nursing programs. Many students face the difficult choice between waiting their turn for enrollment or searching for other nursing programs.

We offer several programs across multiple campus locations (and an Online Division) with many different start dates, so we cannot guarantee “no waitlist” as a blanket statement for all of our nursing programs. But it is a possibility!

We work hard to help you start or advance your nursing education as fast as possible. Our prelicensure programs (PN, ASN, BSN) and our DNP program start three times per year, and our post-licensure (MSN and post-graduate) programs start six times per year.

The best way you can find out if there’s a waitlist is to determine your nursing program of interest available at the campus of your choosing and contact us for more information. The sooner you get in touch before the next start, the less likely you’ll have to worry about a waitlist.
