Associate of Applied Science in Nursing (STEM)

Program Overview

The Department of Nursing offers three options for students applying to the nursing program.

Traditional Admission: Students are admitted once a year in September.  This option offers the four nursing courses over two academic years – Fall/Spring, Fall/Spring. There are no nursing courses in the summer in this option. Students may be first-time college students or have had previous college experience.

Post Baccalaureate Accelerated Associate Degree Option: Students are admitted once a year in May (summer session). The four nursing courses are offered in Summer/Fall/Spring/Summer spanning a 14 month time period. This option is limited to only those students who have a bachelor's degree or higher in a non-nursing major and have met additional prerequisites.

Advanced Placement Option: Students are admitted once a year beginning with a noncredit transition course in the fall semester. The course focuses on bridging the information between the role of the Licensed Practical Nursing and the Registered Nurse. Students then join the Nursing 132 course in the spring semester and complete the sequence of three courses as stated in the Traditional option. Priority is given to LPN's and military medics for admission.   
Upon successful completion, students receive credit for Prior Learning for Nursing 101.
