AAS Nursing

A nursing degree provides diverse opportunities for challenging jobs and
advancement. Upon a successful completion of NCMC's program, graduates will
be eligible to write the National Council Licensing Exam (NCLEX) for
Registered Nurses.

North Central's Associate Degree of Nursing program is a rigorous and demanding two-year course of study. A three-year part-time option is available. NCMC also offers an Advanced Placement option for LPNs to enter the second year as a full-time student by completing specified nursing courses and meeting certain requirements.

You must apply by December 30 of the year prior to anticipated fall semester
entry. You should consult with a nursing faculty advisor before applying.
If you are accepted into the program, North Central will request a criminal
background check from the State of Michigan. Students may be denied
admission based on the results of the background check.

Non-nursing courses may be taken before entry. Completion of all math and
science courses with a "C" or better within five years of admission to the
program is required. You may not enroll in any nursing courses without being
accepted into the nursing program.

It is strongly recommended that you complete BIO 226, BIO 235 and BIO 236
before entering the nursing program.
