ADN Program Details

The Nurse Science Department offers a program of study leading to an associate in applied science degree. The Program is fully accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. Graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurse licensure (NCLEX-RN). The course of study is a 69-credit hour program, which includes classroom and laboratory instruction on campus, as well as supervised clinical experience at affiliating health agencies. Because there are more students applying for nursing courses than it is possible to enroll, a Nurse Science Admissions Committee selects students for the program. Two classes are admitted to the nursing program each academic year. A retention grade point average of at least 2.5 on college work completed is necessary in order to be considered for the nursing courses. High school transcripts and/or GED (General Equivalency Diploma) scores are evaluated if no college work has been completed. The following factors are considered in selecting students:

Retention grade point average (GPA) of previous academic work
Nursing Pre-Admission Test scores
Required general education and related courses completed
