In partnership with Defiance College, Northwest Community College is able to offer a 1+2+1 program for students interested in earning a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing.
The first year of this program is taken at Defiance College where students will be completing a pre-nursing program of study. In the second and third year, students will transfer to Northwest State and complete the AAS/RN program. In the fourth year, students will return to Defiance College and complete requirements for the baccalaureate degree.
To be admitted into the BSN completion program upon their return to Defiance College, students must successfully complete the NCLEX-RN Exam during the summer of their third year, and be in good academic standing.
Admission into the nursing program is a competitive process and requires an individual to successfully complete the following:
Students will be notified by April 30 of their tentative acceptance into the nursing program at NSCC based on completing the above process and contingent upon first year success. Students will be notified by June 1 of their final acceptance into the nursing program at NSCC. Admission to Defiance College and meeting the minimum application requirements does not guarantee a student entrance into the nursing program.
