Program Note

Students must earn a minimum of a C grade in every required course for the Nursing degree.

Most of the required nursing courses are offered ONLY during the day. Some of the clinical experiences may be during evening hours. Students must follow the prescribed schedule. Some of the general education courses may be offered ONLY day or evening. For most students, the time for completion of this degree is longer than two years, due to student preference for completing many of the general education courses prior to starting the nursing courses. Nursing courses start each Fall and Spring Semesters. 

Transfer, Articulation Agreements, and Partnerships

See the Century College website for information regarding transfer.

This degree program is designed for both employment preparation and transfer. Some of the courses may not transfer to a number of four-year colleges. If you are considering the possibility of transfer, you may wish to talk with your advisor, counselor, or program instructor before registering to discuss your goals, look at programs designed for transfer, and develop a plan. A Minnesota statewide nursing articulation agreement provides articulation agreements to students who pursue their bachelor’s degree from most baccalaureate nursing programs offered throughout the state.
