Accelerated Second Degree Nursing
ASD Applications
The application for summer 2026 is closed.
All students, including former or current Clemson students, need to apply through undergraduate admissions as a transfer applicant.
Please note: Although the ASD Admission Application requires you to select Spring Term, the Admissions Office will automatically default your enrollment to Summer Term. Students are notified of acceptance in late November. Orientation and tour of our Nursing building will be held in the spring for newly admitted students. The program starts in May (summer term).
The ASD Nursing Program is designed for individuals who have previously earned a Bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally or nationally accredited college or university. This is an intensive, full-time program that includes rigorous clinical experiences. All classes and clinical experiences are based in the Clemson Nursing Building in Greenville, SC, with clinicals held at hospitals in the surrounding area. Students begin the ASD Nursing Program each Summer as a full-time undergraduate transfer student. After just 20 months of study, students earn a Bachelor of Science with a Major in Nursing degree.
