Key facts

The program is based on a formal affiliation agreement that admits a limited number of students into an articulated program that begins with 83 credits at Worcester State in the Public Health/Pre-Nursing program and continues with the accelerated Bachelor of Nursing program at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences University (MCPHS University) Worcester or Manchester, NH, campus. At the completion of the appropriate 37 credits (of the 63 required) at MCPHS University, you will transfer those credits back to Worcester State and earn a bachelor of science in public health. You will then complete the additional number of appropriate credits (26) at MCPHS University to earn the BS in nursing.
