Nursing Professional Track, A.A.S. (Leading to B.S.N. Through Articulation to Partner Institutions)


(Code 1415)

This program is designed for associate degree Registered Nurses who want to further their education. 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. Students must finish MCC’s Registered Nursing (ADN), A.A.S.  degree; those credits apply to this 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.  

Upon completion of this program [CIP: 51.3801], graduates should be able to:

  • use best current evidence to make nursing clinical judgments and provide patient-centered care to diverse populations in a variety of settings.
  • provide safe, quality patient-centered care for individuals and families across the health-illness continuum in a variety of settings to promote positive patient outcomes.
  • utilize informatics in collaboration with nursing and healthcare teams to facilitate communication and coordinate patient care.
  • demonstrate professional behaviors and adhere to legal, ethical, and professional standards.
  • complete the requirements necessary for transfer.
