The Division of Health Studies offers a five semester Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program. Upon satisfactory completion, the Associate of Applied Science Degree is awarded and the graduate is eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) for licensure as a Registered Nurse. Graduation from the program, however, does not guarantee Board of Nursing approval to take the NCLEX-RN licensing examination.
Admission to the ADN Program is competitive, and the number of students is limited by the number of faculty and clinical facilities available. Meeting minimal requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
The ADN programs two primary options:
- PROSPECTIVE ENTRY LEVEL STUDENTS (Generic Option: Traditional & Hybrid Track)
- Summer Admission – Deadline: December 15
- Fall Admission – Deadline: April 15
- PROSPECTIVE HEALTHCARE TRANSITION (Mobility Option)
- Track 1 (Spring Admission) – Deadline: October 15
- Track 2 (Fall Admission) – Deadline: May 15

Note to Students Located Outside the State of Alabama: The Associate Degree Nursing program prepares students to take the examination required by the Alabama Board of Nursing to be a Registered Nurse in the state of Alabama. It is not intended to prepare students for licensure in U.S. Territories, the District of Columbia, or states other than Alabama. Contact the state regulatory agency for nursing in any other state or territory for which this information is needed.
