A strong blend of professional development, clinical experience and exceptional faculty make the program one of the most recognized in the region. We are fully accredited by both the National League for Nursing and the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing.
Students begin taking nursing courses in the first semester of the sophomore year.
Extensive clinical experience is an important part of the curriculum, with students practicing at local hospitals and nursing homes. Allentown College offers the bachelor of science degree in nursing. Seniors who carry a 3.0 GPA or better are eligible to enroll in one graduate course per semester. This provides them with a foundation for entry into one of our master's degree programs. Graduates of our nursing programs work in a variety of health care fields, including trauma care, community health, hospice, pediatrics, utilization review, critical care and maternity child nursing.
