Description
The Associate in General Education (AGE)-Nursing program is designed for students who wish to begin their studies toward the Associate Degree in Nursing and a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing as based on Blocks 1 through 3 of the Uniform Articulation Agreement between the University of North Carolina’s Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs and the North Carolina Community College Associate Degree Nursing Programs which was approved by the State Board of Community Colleges and the UNC Board of Governors in February 2015. The AGE-Nursing (A1030N) is a planned program of study consisting of a minimum of 60 semester hours of credit (SHC) of courses.
Students who choose this program of study may take courses that are also required in the Associate Degree Nursing program, but a student in the (AGE)- Nursing program of study has not been accepted into the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program. These are two different programs of study. Students who wish to apply to the Associate Degree Nursing program should find the Associate Degree Nursing (A45110) page in the catalog. Students may remain in the AGEN program of study while enrolled in the ADN program. Students who choose to dual enroll in the AGEN program should be aware of any financial aid implications for their specific situation.
A student who completes both the ADN program with a GPA of at least 2.0 and a grade of C or better in the AGE-Nursing courses listed below, and who holds a current unrestricted license as a Registered Nurse in North Carolina will have fulfilled the UNC institutions lower-division general education requirements as well as nursing program entry requirements. However, because nursing program admissions are competitive, no student is guaranteed admission to the student's program of choice.
