Undergraduate Fast Track Nursing

Get on the FAST TRACK for nursing with a bachelor’s degree at Westmont.

Earn two bachelor’s degrees in just four and a half years.

Westmont’s new Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN), operated in partnership with Cottage Health and Sansum Clinics in Santa Barbara, offers a fast track for first-year and transfer students interested in nursing. Complete three years of general education and science courses on the Montecito campus, and you can enter the ABSN program before you get your bachelor’s degree. Connect with your academic adviser and the ABSN admissions representative and apply using the NursingCAS application. If accepted, you begin the ABSN program in the final semester of your final year and attend classes at the Westmont Downtown campus. You receive your Bachelor of Arts at the end of that semester and complete your ABSN after one more year. You earn two bachelor’s degrees in just four and a half years, if you begin your college career at Westmont. Westmont financial aid is available for the two degrees.
