Changing Lives Making Indiana Great.
The Associate of Science in Nursing program is designed to accommodate two groups of students: those who are entering a nursing program for the first time and those Licensed Practical Nurses or certified Paramedics seeking educational mobility to the associate-degree level. As a graduate of the ASN Program, you will be eligible to apply to take the NCLEX-RN examination to become Registered Nurses. You may seek immediate employment as Nurses or choose to transfer your credits to a four-year institution offering a baccalaureate degree.
The nursing program is a selective program. When you apply to the college, you will be accepted into the undeclared program while you complete the prerequisite requirements. The nursing program accepts a limited number of students each year and there is a separate application process. Contact your campus of interest below for more details.
