AS Nursing Degree
The Associate of Science in Nursing (AS) degree is a professional pre-licensure
program that prepares the student for the National Council of State Boards of Nursing
Licensure exam (NCLEX) to become a registered nurse. The AS program allows the student
to exit at the AS level or to transition seamlessly into the senior year BSN nursing
classes.
The AS program incorporates Christ-centered excellence throughout the curriculum. Excellence is fostered with many different clinical experiences, including hospital settings, simulation and skills lab. Critical learning is enhanced through many avenues including classroom discussion, small group activities, computer adaptive testing and a rigorous tutoring program called ASAP (Assisting Students to Achieve Professionally).
The AS faculty readily share their expertise and demonstrate compassion in their interactions with students, which helps to nurture learning.
