Indiana

does something like this with my daughter's hospital affiliated nursing school (three years on campus and then four semesters (15 months) in the accelerated nursing program. It is a good idea. Most (if not all) the students from that college major in Biology.

Our local regional university is working on a program, but it was not in place before my daughter started the Nursing program. The Biology degree would add about two years to her program if she decided to get it (of course she did not optimize her course selection towards that degree - there could be some trimming involved if she had).

My daughter's Nursing program requires about 66 hours of statistics, science, social studies, and humanities before beginning the BSN program (plus a CNA course). Once you start the BSN program you can graduate in four semesters (15 months).
