This program allows students to take almost three years of credit hours at MCC and then transfer to a partner institution to finish their Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.

With help from a counselor or advisor, select pathway which aligns closest to the intended transfer institution’s course requirements. Courses are subject to change based on transfer-institution requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with representatives at intended institution, as well as meet with a counselor or advisor at MCC each semester to ensure that they stay on the correct path.
