Are you interested in earning a Registered Nurse, AAS degree at COCC?

Thank you for your interest in COCC’s nursing program! We offer an Associate of Applied Science degree in Nursing that will prepare you for licensure as a Registered Nurse. Our program is a selective admission program. Students complete prerequisite coursework prior to application to the program. Below you will find a link to the Nursing Selection Process Handbook which will provide you with information about the Nursing program and the coursework required to apply to the program. Orientation sessions are offered throughout the year, as well as online, and are the required first step for anyone interested in learning more about, or pursuing, COCC’s nursing program. Orientation sessions will cover the structure of COCC’s program, application requirements (including in-district residency), support courses required for the degree and details about how students are selected for admission. Information about transferring credits from other colleges and universities will also be shared.

Please read the Selection Process Handbook and attend an Orientation session to answer your questions about the Nursing Program.
