Distance ABSN Program
The Distance ABSN program is currently designed for students residing in Texas, but outside the DFW metro area. Students who reside within Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, & Rockwall counties should apply for the on-campus accelerated FastBacc® program at the Louise Herrington School of Nursing in Dallas.
