Return to: Programs by Divisions
The Associate of Science (Pre-Nursing) is designed to provide students continuing study to complete the bachelor’s degree in Nursing at a private institution within the state or neighboring states with whom VSCC does not yet have an articulated agreement. Some flexibility is provided in the area of emphasis courses allowing the student and advisor to customize the program of study tailored to the curriculum at the institution of interest. Students are cautioned to work closely with their advisor in planning the program of study, preparing for graduation, and making application to the institution and school of nursing.
Transfer Options
This program of study has been created to permit some flexibility in the curriculum to meet the requirement of a senior institution with whom VSCC does not yet have an articulated agreement. While many schools of nursing will have significant overlap in their pre-nursing curriculum, the student is encouraged to contact the senior institution for specific program of study requirements that will prepare for admission to the nursing program. All nursing programs are extremely competitive and students are directed to consult their advisor each semester before registering for classes and in planning for graduation. Completion of all pre-requisite courses and the A.S. degree do not guarantee admission as each school of nursing has its own admissions requirements, standards, and criteria for selection.
