Thank you for your interest in the nursing program at North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical State University.  The School of Nursing
offers several programs for selected health care professionals to earn a
Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BSN).  We strive to make our
programs accessible to working health professionals and to provide a
supportive and caring environment. 

The goal of our BSN degree is to prepare a Registered Nurse (RN) with the
ability to function as a professional nurse in various settings, provide
exceptional leadership and managerial skills, use applied research in
evidence-based practice, and prepare for graduate nursing education.
Professionalism, including the aspects of compassion, dedication,
volunteerism, ethical conduct, and scholarship, is emphasized.

All candidates must complete the University admission process, and be
admitted to NC A&T, before acceptance into our BSN completion program.
Candidates must complete the undergraduate pre-requisite science and
liberal arts studies as a foundation for our BSN.  The BSN degree requires
126 semester hours for graduation, and 62 semester credit hours may be
transferred from another academic institution and/or earned through College
Level Proficiency Examinations (CLEP) (up to 15 credit hours).  However, no
more than 80 hours may be transferred from another institution. In addition,
all completion students must take Nursing 390, Transition to Professional
Nursing Practice.


BSN COMPLETION PROGRAMS INCLUDE:

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

Please contact me by phone (336 334-7750, ext. 2025), Fax (336 334-7637 /
7301), or e-mail (clundrig@ncat.edu).  The nursing curriculum, including all
pre-requisite courses may be viewed elsewhere on the School of Nursing's
website.


Once we have been in contact, I will request that you forward transcripts of all
your academic work both to me and to the University.  A student copy will be
sufficient for me, but official transcripts must be sent to the NC A&T
Admissions Office.  Once I have unofficially reviewed your transcripts, I can
advise you on coursework you may need to complete prior to admission and
devise a tentative progression program with you.

As Coordinator for the above programs, I look forward to hearing from you and
working with you to achieve your goal of a BSN degree.
