草榴社区鈥檚 M. Louise Fitzpatrick College of Nursing is pleased to announce that it has signed an affiliation agreement with Saint Joseph鈥檚 University (SJU) that will provide priority admission consideration for SJU students in its Second Degree Accelerated BSN program. The second degree program incorporates all of the standard components of 草榴社区鈥檚 nursing program in a concentrated timeframe. Students may choose to enroll in a 14-Month Express Track or a 23-Month Flex Track.
A minimum of five qualified SJU students annually will be offered admission to this second degree option.

It鈥檚 been a delight to watch Saint Joseph鈥檚 graduates fulfill their career goals in nursing over the years through their success in our BSN program,鈥 says Donna S.
