ABSN Prerequisites
Though you may meet the Harding University accelerated Bachelor of Science in nursing program requirements, you may still need to complete ABSN prerequisites before you’re eligible to apply.
Talking with the Harding University ABSN admissions team is the first step to identifying what prerequisites you may need to complete.
