What is the difference between the 2nd Degree Track and the Advanced Standing to RN Track Program?
The 2nd Degree Track requires that the applicant have a Bachelor’s degree. The degree can be in any area. All prerequisites, including general education and NURS 200, must be completed before starting the 2nd Degree Track. The nursing courses vary from 6 to 8 weeks in length. The track is 15 consecutive months. Some of the coursework is online, with lab on campus and clinical hours in the Lansing and surrounding areas. The Advanced Standing to RN Track requires that the applicant be a licensed paramedic, LPN or Respiratory Therapist. All prerequisites must be completed before starting the program. After the Transition Class summer semester, the student enters the equivalent of the second year of the nursing program. This is hybrid, with at least 50% of the learning online. This track is 3 consecutive semesters.
