PROGRAMS OF STUDY
The Scott & White College of Nursing offers both a generic four-year BSN degree for those seeking initial licensure as a Registered Nurse as well as a track for the Associate degree prepared nurse who wishes to obtain the Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. Approximately 25% of the nursing classes are composed of adult learners who have degrees in other fields who are making a career change. Thus, classes are diverse in terms of age, background, and life experiences which makes for a wonderful opportunity for shared learning. The nursing program is approved by the Texas State Board of Nursing and is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education {CCNE}, the accreditation body for the American Association of Colleges of Nursing {AACN). Graduates of the program are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN licensing examination. Graduates are also eligible to pursue a graduate degree if they decide to pursue an advanced practice role.
