Bellarmine University
Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky, is a private Catholic four-year institution whose Donna and Allan Lansing School of Nursing and Clinical Sciences offers several nursing pathways. Students can pursue a traditional BSN, an accelerated second-degree BSN, an RN-to-BSN completion option, and selected graduate nursing programs. Depending on the track, courses may be offered on campus, online, or in a hybrid format.
The nursing curriculum is built to strengthen clinical judgment, evidence-based practice, leadership, ethics, health promotion, and teamwork across healthcare settings. Prelicensure students complete supervised clinical learning and simulation experiences that help prepare them for the NCLEX-RN. Bellarmine stands out for its smaller learning environment, mission-centered approach, and opportunities to continue into advanced nursing study. For students comparing Louisville-area options, Bellarmine may appeal to those who want a traditional university setting with personalized support rather than a large public campus or a stand-alone nursing college.

Programs
A BSN is a 4-year university RN degree, widely preferred by employers and required for many advanced roles, whose graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.
An MSN is a 2–3 year graduate degree that prepares RNs for advanced practice, leadership, and specialized roles such as nurse practitioner or nurse educator.
A DNP is the highest clinical nursing degree, taking 2–4 years, preparing nurses for advanced practice, executive leadership, and policy roles—distinct from the research-focused PhD.
A post-graduate APRN certificate is a 12–24 month credential that lets MSN-prepared nurses add or change an advanced practice specialty without earning a second degree.
