The Associate Degree Nursing Program is a two-year curriculum which leads to an Associate in Applied Science Degree. The curriculum, which includes classroom, campus skills labs, and clinical agency learning experiences, is designed to provide opportunities for students to complete the program and make application to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. Graduates who meet eligibility requirements as mandated by the state of initial licensure and who successfully complete the licensure examination are eligible to begin practice as registered nurses.

The Bridge entry is based on a mobility curriculum with summer bridge or transition courses that allow LVNs (Licensed Vocational Nurses) to "bridge" the gap between Vocational Nursing Education and the second year of the Associate Degree Nursing Program.
