Nursing, ASN (LPN to RN Bridge Pathway)

(70 Hours)

Admission

Admission to the ASN program is competitive. Meeting minimal admission criteria does not guarantee acceptance. The admission process is completed in two steps. Students wishing to major in nursing at the associate level must either be unconditionally admitted or have completed all developmental coursework. Students not meeting this requirement will need to declare Interdisciplinary Studies as a major until all developmental course work has been successfully completed. Once requirements are met, then students can declare a major of nursing.

Students are admitted into step one of the ASN Program year-round. The Admissions Committee reviews all records of qualified applicants.
