Overview

The Nursing - Accelerated Career Entry (ACE) at Drexel University is ideal for working adults or college graduates who want to change careers and earn a new degree in one year. This innovative program is geared to students who will benefit from intense education in nursing science rather than the traditional program, which takes three or four years.

Like their counterparts in the traditional baccalaureate nursing program, graduates of the accelerated program emerge with a set of skills that will serve them well in their chosen profession. Our graduates:

Utilize the growing compendium of knowledge and information sources from nursing and other disciplines to learn, teach, heal the sick, and conserve health.
Contribute to the profession by sharing knowledge and skills with clients, peers, and other professionals in a variety of methods.
Utilize multiple technologies that access and manage information to guide professional practice.
Participate in culturally sensitive health promotion activities that contribute to the community’s health and wellness.
