Hey, everyone!

My questions about the UTA Accelerated Online BSN seem silly, but everything online is so vague. I've attended an information session and they couldn't/wouldn't answer my questions, either. and they want me to wait until the last week of August to speak with someone in Admissions.

1. Do I need a Bachelors degree to apply to this program? Most of the online BSN programs require you to already have a degree and/or already be an RN.
2. Are ALL of the pre reqs offered online? A&P II, Microbio, Nutrition, Pathophysiology, etc?
   1. If so, are they accelerated?
3. Are the "Apply By 9/4/26" and "Start Class 9/28/26" dates for the pre-reqs or just for the nursing college students that have been accepted into the UTA nursing program?

Here's some context:

• I am prepping to apply for nursing schools for Summer and/or Fall 27 cohorts. I have a 4-6 pre-reqs left to do and my TEAS/HESI. Classes that I still need are: A&P II, microbio, statistics, nutrition. Depending on the nursing college, I might also need pathophysiology, and 1 or 2 psych classes.
• My personal circumstances have recently changed (getting a divorce after 21 years of marriage with 3 young kids, spouse is not an involved parent) and now I need to knock these last classes out online if at all possible.
• I live out of district for my local community college now that my spouse and I have separated, thus wanting to look at online pre-nursing classes at a 4 year university. If I'm going to pay "out of district" tuition rates, then I might as well go to a 4 year university.

Thank you in advance for any help!
