What sets Lees-McRae College apart?

The Lees-McRae College program is a true 2+2 program. The foundation of the program is the two-year Associate’s Degree of Nursing (ADN) obtained at a community college. The last two years (RN to BSN) are obtained at Lees-McRae College. Students enter the RN to BSN program as juniors and complete all program requirements in four semesters spread over a two-year period.

Classes are scheduled for the working professional. Courses are offered in a modular format; that is, students take one course at a time. Classes meet one night a week from 5 to 9 p.m. One modular per semester is delivered online or is completed as a guided self-study. This program is also offered in a completely online format.

There are no hidden prerequisite courses. Since the RN to BSN program builds on an ADN program, prerequisites are not necessary. Applicants who need additional general education courses not included in the RN to BSN program can take them after entering the program.

Upper level general education courses are integrated into the program. Unlike traditional general education courses scheduled two to three days a week, the Lees-McRae program offers easily accessible general education courses to the RN to BSN students. Upper level general education courses are included in the two-year plan of study and are directly applicable to professional environments.

Hear from our graduates...“I have never had such a positive experience in my nursing career. The goal of all my professors has been the same - they want me to be successful. The caring nature of my professors has been the driving force to encourage me to finish my degree. I am positive that any nurse, regardless of age or experience, can not only enter the classes but also graduate”
