Post University is a private institution that specializes in high-flexibility nursing education, primarily serving registered nurses seeking academic advancement. The American Sentinel College of Nursing & Health Sciences at Post offers a variety of pathways, including an RN-to-BSN, a combined RN-to-BSN/MSN, a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with eight specializations, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). Students can choose between a structured, eight-week term-based format or the "SIMPath" competency-based modality, which allows experienced nurses to move through the curriculum at their own pace.
The BSN curriculum typically requires 120 credit hours, though the RN-to-BSN track allows for up to 90 transfer credits, often leaving 30 credits of core nursing and general education. Students master competencies in healthcare informatics, community health, and leadership. While the programs are primarily online, they incorporate "practice experiences"—shadowing or project-based learning—rather than traditional bedside clinical hours, allowing students to apply new concepts within their own geographic areas. Graduate tracks, such as the Nurse Practitioner specializations, require more intensive preceptorships and hundreds of clinical hours to meet national certification standards.
Accredited by the CCNE and ACEN, Post University is frequently recognized for its support of military-affiliated students and its "Top Workplace" status. Compared to traditional on-campus programs in Connecticut, Post stands out for its year-round monthly start dates and its focus on administrative and leadership specializations like Infection Prevention and Nursing Informatics.
