Concurrent Nursing

Earn your Associate Degree in Nursing and your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at the same time!

The agreements with DCCC and Montco allow qualified students to complete both their Associate Degree in Nursing and BSN in just 24-30 months. Take in-person classes at DCCC or Montco, paired with online BSN courses through WCU.
