Associate in Arts, Focus in Nursing Program, LPN to RN Transition

An Associate in Arts (AA), Focus in Nursing Program, LPN to RN Transition guides students to complete the correct courses to apply to a limited access, AS degree program. However, if students are not admitted to a limited access degree program, completing the Associate in Arts is still possible by completing the courses in any AA with AS focus. All students considering a limited access program should review the AS application for all the requirements needed and for the appropriate time to apply to a program. It is important to note that students are not required to complete the AA degree to apply to an AS, limited access program.
