Nursing Programs Offered

ADN Program Details

The Nursing Program at Minneapolis Community and Technical College (MCTC) is a selective admission program that provides admitted students with the opportunity to pursue an education in nursing. The curriculum follows a leveled, four semester sequence that allows students in the program to continue through one or both years of the two year program on either a full- or part-time basis. This approach allows students to better balance work and life demands with the significant demands posed by nursing program curricula. Students in the program will have the option to earn a Diploma in Practical Nursing (P.N.) after successful completion of the first two semesters of the program. Students may then graduate and exit the program or continue into the second year of the program curriculum and, upon successful completion of all four semesters, be eligible to earn an Associate in Science in Nursing degree (A.S.). Students who successfully complete the A.S. degree and graduate can then apply for admittance to other colleges and universities to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (B.S.N.). MCTC has articulation agreements with Metropolitan State University, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Consortium, and other private institutions’ Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (B.S.N.) programs.
