Articulation Agreements

Earn your Associate Degree in Nursing and your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at the same time! Traditionally, students must already be licensed registered nurses or hold an ADN or AASN prior to enrolling in a BSN program. Our agreement with MCCC  allows qualified students to complete both their Associate Degree in Nursing and BSN in just 24-30 months. Take in-person classes at MCCC paired with online BSN courses through WCU.

The co-admissions pathway is for students who apply to but are not offered admission to WCU for academic or capacity reasons. WCU will provide these students conditional acceptance when they enroll at MCCC.

Dual admissions is for new MCCC students and those who have not yet completed 30 credits at MCCC. WCU will provide these students with a conditional offer of acceptance.

Both co-admissions and dual admissions students allow students to earn two degrees, make an impact on two campuses, and save on tuition.
