 Additional Notes:

• Upon acceptance into the DCCC Associate of Applied Science in Nursing Program, the student is eligible to apply to the WCU RN-to-BSN program.
• Once accepted into the DCCC/WCU concurrent program, students will begin taking Nursing (NSG) coursework at WCU to earn a BSN degree.
• Concurrent students are expected to follow the semester layout of the concurrent curriculum map, as it is an agreement between DCCC and WCU.
• Concurrent RN-BSN students must be licensed prior to earning their BSN. They are not permitted to begin their final core nursing course without being an actively licensed RN in the US.
• Depending on enrollment, NSG 313 and NSG 332 may be offered in the fall or spring semesters rather than the summer. If those changes are made, the length of the program will not increase.
