Nursing Professional Track Associate Degree

(Leading to B.S.N. through articulation to partnering institutions)

Where To Go From Here

This program is designed for associate degree Registered Nurses who want to further their education.

Why This Degree

Students who earn an associate of applied science degree will be prepared for national licensure as a registered nurse. Job opportunities in this field offer great variety, as they treat patients, educate patients and the public about medical conditions, and provide emotional support to patients and family members. This degree provides the foundation for continued study at the bachelor-degree level at a partnering institution.
