Nursing, A.S.

This plan of study was developed as a guideline for students who plan to transfer to an Alabama public four-year institution and pursue a degree in Nursing. Students who plan to transfer to an out-of-state or private institution should consult that institution and plan their program of study in consultation with nursing faculty advisors and/or counselors. Some courses in this program may not be available at all College locations. Upon completion of courses listed below, the transcript will reflect either an AA or AS degree without reference to the specific program of study.

RN-to-BSN Program: Portions of this plan are applicable for Registered Nurses (or students enrolled in the Associate Degree Nursing program) who are seeking to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing. These students may meet university-parallel requirements by following institution-specific guidance for RN-to-BSN/MSN programs. RN-to-BSN program advisors will assist students in contacting their intended transfer institutions.

NOTES:

* Must complete a 6-semester-hour sequence in Literature or History.
