We are delighted that you are interested in the Department of Nursing at North Carolina Central University. The nursing program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (www.nlnac.org) and approved by the North Carolina Board of Nursing.

The nursing curriculum is divided into lower and upper divisions. The lower division courses provide knowledge in natural and social sciences with a liberal arts focus. The upper division courses are in the nursing major. All students must successfully complete the pre-nursing courses prior to admission to the nursing program.

The Traditional BSN curriculum is offered for qualified high school graduates, transfer and second degree students, and licensed practical nurses. The RN-BSN curriculum is for registered nurses licensed to practice nursing in North Carolina and abroad. Qualified RN-BSN students receive advance credit for previous education and complete the upper division courses. Second degree Baccalaureate degree students have an option to enter into the Accelerated BSN program.
