The Board may deny admission to a graduate for a variety of reasons. These include conviction of a felony or of a crime involving moral turpitude if the nature of the offense bears directly on the fitness of the person to practice nursing. The Associate Degree Nursing Program is a selective admission program and is offered at the Catonsville and Essex campuses. Students seeking admission to the nursing program must submit a specific program application at the campus of interest. Students will be ranked for program admission utilizing specific selection criteria.
Most students take three to four years to complete the program.
All students are encouraged to complete as many of the general education and science requirements as possible before enrolling in nursing. This is especially true if students have limitations on the time they can devote to study. Students are encouraged to plan their financial resources because full-time employment is not possible during the nursing courses. Information about scholarships and loans is available from the Financial Aid Office. Prerequisites for entrance into the nursing program are high school algebra, biology and chemistry.
