BSN Options & Information
ADN/BSN Concurrent Enrollment
In 2010, The Future of Nursing report issued by the Institute of Medicine advocated
for all nurses to achieve higher degrees of learning. Although completion of the nursing
program at College of the Canyons will earn you an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN),
you'll want to continue your education to earn at least a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing
(BSN).
The COC nursing program has coordinated with several universities that allow students
to work toward a BSN degree while enrolled in the COC nursing program. After completing
the College of the Canyons Nursing Program and successfully passing the NCLEX licensing
exam, the BSN can be completed in as little as one year. BSN program lengths and
costs vary. Students are encouraged to review BSN program websites and seek academic
counseling as well as financial aid planning assistance.
