Nursing: Dual Degree
Four-Year Associate in Applied Science (AAS) & Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Degree
Earn two nursing degrees in four years or less!
Our Nursing Dual Degree program gives you the opportunity to earn two nursing degrees in four years – starting with an associate degree and culminating in a bachelor’s degree. The last year will be online. Our holistic approach integrates theory, research, and evidence to provide client-centered care in complex healthcare environments. You’ll be prepared to take on leadership and management nursing roles in addition to clinical practice.
If you want to be a nurse and are motivated to advance your career quickly, this program is a great fit for you! You’ll study human anatomy and physiology, mental health nursing, epidemiology, pathophysiology, ethics, and advanced nursing topics, with plenty of hands-on experiences in our learning labs as well as clinical rotations in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings. After the third year, you will sit for the NCLEX exam for licensure as a Registered Professional Nurse (RN) and complete your final year online while starting your career.
