Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN)
The Associate Degree in Nursing program is generally pursued by those students who plan to enter the nursing workforce following graduation. After successful completion of this program, graduates take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). With passing scores, graduates are awarded licensure as a Registered Nurse.
Some students pursuing the ADN degree may decide to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a baccalaureate degree. Students considering the ADN degree who may wish to transfer should see an advisor.
