Learn and Grow Within Your Cohort
The Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program offers two start dates tied to a cohort model. This cohort structure imparts the same exceptional preparation to enter the field of nursing while enabling students to build a strong network of fellow healthcare providers. Both the January and August Cohorts share a standardized admissions process, curriculum and nursing faculty.
January Cohort and Hartford HealthCare
Students enrolled in the January Cohort enjoy access to our clinical partnership commitment with Hartford HealthCare (HHC). Nearly all of the clinical experiences pertaining to the curriculum for this cohort are completed within the Hartford HealthCare System, and students frequently liaise with nurse educators and talent acquisition specialists throughout the organization. Graduates of the January Cohort who meet the criteria for hire are guaranteed employment as new nurses in the Hartford Healthcare System.
