Associate of Pre-Nursing Requirements


Importance of Advising. Advising is a critical element in the completion of the Associate of Pre-Nursing degree. Each student is strongly encouraged to identify a faculty adviser as early as possible. Students, with the aid of a faculty adviser, are responsible for checking specific major requirements of baccalaureate institutions prior to transfer.

Learning Outcomes

The outcomes for the Associate of Pre-Nursing degree incorporate those for the AA, Option A degree. In addition, a student earning an Associate of Pre-Nursing will: 
  • Demonstrate knowledge, skills and abilities in preparation to transfer to a four-year university in nursing.
