The Associate of Arts and Sciences Degree: Pre-BSN Specialization is designed for 1) students who plan to pursue either traditional pre-licensure baccalaureate in nursing programs; 2) students who have graduated from RCC, another VCCS nursing program, or a private nursing program and who are pursuing post-licensure completion of the baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN); and, 3) currently enrolled students in the ADN program at RCC who want to complete requirements for the BSN as they complete their pre-licensure education.
Admission Requirements
In addition to the admission requirements established for the college, entry into this program requires proficiency in English, mathematics, and science. Students whose placement by the direct enrollment and self-placement survey or other measures indicates a need for further preparation will be placed in the appropriate developmental courses in English and mathematics. Students who have already met the admission requirements for the Associate Degree in Nursing program have satisfied these requirements.

This curriculum will provide the most complete foundation for the pursuit of the BSN. Consult with an advisor at your desired four-year institution to verify.
