About this Program
The Associates Degree Nursing program prepares graduates to become registered nurses (RNs). Nurses work in a team with other healthcare professionals to provide care for clients in a variety of healthcare settings.
Nursing Program Options

Registered nurses can pursue advanced nursing degrees such as nurse anesthetist, nurse practitioner, or a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree.
Accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and approved by the Maryland Board of Nursing.
Eligibility for admission to and continued enrollment in the Nursing programs are conditional on an applicant’s eligibility for licensure by the Maryland Board of Nursing. Under Maryland law, the Maryland Board of Nursing may deny a license to any applicant for reasons that include, but are not limited to, an applicant’s conviction or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or to a crime involving moral turpitude, whether or not any appeal or other proceeding is pending to have the conviction or plea set aside. If an applicant for admission or an enrolled student has an un-expunged conviction or is convicted at any time prior to admission or enrollment into the Nursing programs or during participation in the Nursing course sequence, the applicant or enrolled student must immediately notify the Nursing Program Coordinator. Failure to disclose an arrest or conviction may result in ineligibility for admission to or suspension or termination from nursing programs.
The BCCC licensure examination pass rates can be located at the Maryland Board of Nursing website:
