What Nursing Degree Programs Are Available at Goldfarb School of Nursing?

Updated

Goldfarb School of Nursing offers undergraduate and graduate nursing programs: several Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) options, a High School to BSN pathway, master's programs, postgraduate certificates, and doctoral programs. The right entry point depends on where you are now: high school students and transfer students look at the undergraduate options, while BSN- and MSN-prepared nurses look at graduate study to expand or change their role in advanced practice nursing.

Undergraduate Programs

Goldfarb describes several BSN options designed for different student situations. The site specifically names transfer students and students looking for class options outside traditional hours as groups the undergraduate offerings are built to serve.

Program Designed for What it leads to
Bachelor's (BSN) options Students seeking an initial nursing degree, including transfer students and those needing non-traditional class times A BSN
High School to BSN High school students planning a nursing career A BSN pathway started earlier

If you are still in high school, the High School to BSN route is the relevant page to review. If you already have college credit or need a schedule that fits around other commitments, compare the individual BSN options rather than assuming one format fits all.

Graduate Programs

Graduate study at Goldfarb is aimed at nurses who already hold a BSN or MSN and want to expand or change their role in advanced practice nursing. Three graduate tracks are listed:

  • Master's programs — for advancing or redirecting your practice role.
  • Postgraduate certificates — for adding a credential on top of an existing graduate degree.
  • Doctoral programs — for the highest level of nursing preparation offered.

The site does not publish program-by-program admission requirements or durations in the material reviewed here, so confirm those details on each program page before applying.

Which Program Fits You?

Use your current credential as the first filter:

  • High school student → High School to BSN.
  • Have some college credit or need flexible class times → one of the undergraduate BSN options.
  • Hold a BSN or MSN and want an advanced practice role → master's, postgraduate certificate, or doctoral program, depending on whether you want a new degree or an added credential.

Cost Considerations

Goldfarb states that 80% of its students currently receive grants or scholarships, and it highlights the BJC Full-Ride Scholars program, which it describes as providing 100% coverage. Specific tuition figures and eligibility rules for that program are not included in the material reviewed, so check the financial aid pages directly rather than assuming eligibility.
